I’ve been wanting to bring some fabric into our desk area. At first I thought of doing a fabric bulletin board (like HERE) but it wasn’t quite what I wanted. And with those big boards, papers hang down and cover a lot of the board, so why not have open spaces for the papers to cover. I came up with this idea – bulletin board strips. They were pretty simple and I just hung them up – and love them! Here’s a quick how-to:
First I had some scrap boards (leftover from the desk my hubby MADE – he’s awesome!) so that’s the size I chose. It’s totally up to you on dimensions. You’ll also need fabric, corkboard, a staple gun, and picture hangers. First lay your board down on the cork to trace and then cut out a piece to cover the front of the board. Do the same for the fabric, but be sure to cut it bigger than the board because it needs to wrap the edges.
L’idée est très bonne et souvent plus pratique que board habituel car on a plus d’espace.
Bonne journée.

Keeping It Simple
I’m coming over from New Friends Friday! I love this idea. I have limited space and kept thinking about large bulletin boards, which won’t work. I never thought about a smaller strip. Thanks for the idea.
This is a great idea! Stopping by from New Friend Friday! Very cute blog – I’m looking forward to following you.

This turned out great! I often wondered why I spent so much time covering up something that, in turn, will just get covered up! This is a great solution. Love the color.

Wow! Cute! And, is that the desk your husband made? Shut right up! Can he come to North Carolina and build some things for me?
I am Michael Shannon’s cousin (although I like to claim Kate as a cousin too!), by the way and I will be checking out your blog quite often from now on. No pressure!
I love this idea. I’ve been looking to do something similar above my sewing machine. I’m so glad you shared this idea! Your desk is to die for! Your hubby did a great job!
