Hi guys! I’ve been hanging out at the beach this week, enjoying the last bits of summer vacation we have left. I received some questions about my burlap memo board I shared at the Power of Paint Party, so I thought I share the simple plan I used to make it.
Here’s my cute memo board painted my new favorite color! I bought this frame last year and I had originally painted it black. I found it at a garage sale as just the plain frame. I loved it because of it’s size.
I had been using it to hang some of my burlap signs like this one…
Since the frame came with no backing I took a piece of foam board (I got mine at Michaels) and cut it to fit the opening.
So to make my memo board I took some leftover corkboard (from my daughter’s wardrobe) and some spray adhesive. I generously sprayed the foam board with the adhesive and then pressed the cork firmly on top for a minute or two.
You can see that my scrap piece wasn’t in the best condition, a rip & a tear, but once it’s covered with burlap no one will know.
I let it dry about 20 minutes and then wrapped it with burlap ( I cut it to fit and ironed it). I used some thick masking tape to hold the burlap on the back of the foam board until I placed it in the frame.
Now I just need to make some cute pushpins for it!
Hope you’re enjoying the last of your summer too!
Thanks for stopping by…

Love the bulletin board. I just recently upcycled an old mirror frame for a chalkboard/bulletin board. I used vintage earrings for my pushpins. http://frecklednoses.blogspot.com/2011/07/chalkbulletin-board-for-under-20.html

Great makeover. Memo boards are so useful, I love them.
Definitely imagine that that you stated. Your favourite justification appeared to
be at the internet the simplest thing to take into account of.
I say to you, I certainly get irked at the same time as other
folks think about worries that they just don’t recognise about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as smartly as defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , other folks could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
