Who doesn't love a creative and crafty project to wile away the afternoon? Well here it is! The craft project is fairly simple, I got this frame fairly cheaply, I also got a pinboard/corkboard for £1.99. I couldnt decide what type of memo board I wanted so i tried three on for size!
For the String option in the first option - its very easy - just remove all backing and tie up some string!
For the chicken wire option, make sure you have wire cutters - cut to the size of your frame - so you can staple gun it to the back. My chicken wire came in a big roll and i had a lot of trouble flattening it. I still am having trouble - I liked that option but the wire was very bowed.
The third! Pin board!
1. Gathered my supplies! You need a pin board
something to cut with
Fabric if you wish
and pins
2. I took everything out of the frame and used the back board to measure my cork board and cut.
3. This ensures a snug fit in the frame!
4. I measured my fabric using the corkboard and then attached it taught with some pins before securing with a glue gun. It then fit snuggly back in and voila!

The prints on the board are from Trisha Brink Design.

I'm liking the pinboard best just because it allows for pretty fabric =) x
