Whether you are planning a wedding, decorating a room or just looking for a place to put inspiring objects, an inspiration board may help. An inspiration board is just like the collages you did as a child, but with a grown-up twist. Read on to learn how to make one.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A bulletin board or foam board
  • Magazine Clippings
  • Photos
  • Small colorful items
  1. Step 1

    Cover your inspiration board with colorful fabric, paint or paper. Create a unique canvas to build off of.

  2. Step 2

    Start collecting small items that catch your eye. Whether it’s a photo from a magazine, a piece of ribbon or the packaging from a soup can, anything that you find visually appealing can go on the inspiration board.

  3. Step 3

    Attach the small items with tacks, tape or glue.

  4. Step 4

    Watch your inspiration board take shape.

Tips & Warnings
  • It may be helpful to stick to a color scheme with your inspiration board, especially if you are using it to plan a wedding or party.
  • Be creative! After all, that’s the purpose of the inspiration board.

on 2/13/2009 Looking for ideas along the same lines as an inspration board for myself that I can take with me like a small scrapbook that I can keep with me and add on to as I go. Any ideas?

on 7/16/2008 Great idea. For the small items, I think beads can be used or something shiny cause the wedding hall would be very bright and shiny plastic crystal, would be great.
