How to Make a Craft Memo Board

An organized work space makes it easy for your to be productive, not to mention it just looks nicer than a cluttered one. A crafted memo board is an easy way to keep a work space organized while also adding a touch of personality to the space. Craft your own memo board to create a place where you can keep all your memos, photographs and pieces of inspiration handy.

Things You'll Need

• Unframed cork board of any size
• Fabric 4 inches wider and taller than cork board
• Spray adhesive
• Hot glue gun
• 5/8-inch wide ribbon
• Clothespins
• Buttons
• Tacks

Instructions

1. Lay your fabric out on your flat work surface with the right side of the fabric facing down. Smooth the fabric out so there are no wrinkles.

2. Spray the front of your cork board with spray adhesive. Lay the cork board down on top of the fabric, with the adhesive side down.

3. Flip the cork board and fabric over and smooth out any wrinkles in the fabric. Flip the board and fabric back over.

4. Wrap the fabric over to the back side of the cork board and secure it with hot glue. Flip the memo board over.

5. Lay out strips of ribbon so they criss-cross in a diamond pattern across the front of the memo board. The ribbons should be about four inches apart and overlap the edges of the board by about three inches. Use clothespins to hold the ribbon ends in place around the edge of the board.

6. Flip the board over and use hot glue to attach the ribbons to the back of the board. Flip the board back over after all the ribbon ends are attached.

7. Hot glue a button to the head of a tack for each place where the ribbons cross each other on the front of the board. Push the button covered tacks into the board where the ribbons cross to hold the ribbons to the board. Slide memos and pictures under the ribbons to place them on the board or you can tack items to the board.
