DIY Bulletin Board

I am not sure if it’s the “teacher” in me or what, but I HATE boring bulletin boards.

***I have an Elementary Ed degree, though I do not teach anymore.  More on that later…

Anyway, they can be utilized to really add some color and decor to your office/work space without spending much money. All you need is some fabric, ribbon, scissors/box cutter, stapler, and decorative push pins (I got all the materials for less than $10— just pay attention to what fabric is on sale).

Not that you need instructions, but here is a step-by-step breakdown of how I did my board:

1. Here is my boring board…

2. To hang the fabric, I used a stapler to make sure it was secure.

3.  A razor or box cutter like this makes it easy to trim up the edges.

4.  With the fabric stapled on:

4.  Adding the ribbon.  This where I utilize the decorative push pins.  I kind of eyed the spacing between each, but you could use a measuring tape if you want to make sure they are spaced out perfectly.

5. Up close view of the pins and ribbon:

6. Finished product!

What do you decorate your office/work space with to make it feel a little more cozy?
