I have been in need if some serious wall décor in my studio apartment. But what I needed was something that could hold mail correspondence. So I made myself some french message boards. This is how I did it:
1. Bought a sheet of peg board (4 foot x 2 foot).
2. Asked the guy at Lowe’s to cut one 2 foot by 2 foot square and two 1 foot by 2 foot squares.
3. Bought 3/4 yards of tan fabric, 3/4 yards of brown fabric, one spool of brown ribbon and one crib-sized piece of batting.
4. I cut the pieces of fabric to cover each piece of wood with about a 1 inch overlap ok every side. I cut the batting to be a perfect fit.
5. I attached a piece of string by tying it through the holes in the wood so u could hang it.
6. Laid the fabric, then the batting, then the piece of wood on the floor and using a staple gun, I attached the edge of the fabric to the back of the wood.
7. I attached the ribbon using the staple gun.
8. I hung them up and began populating them.
