You start with a simple corkboard or foam board that is readily available online or nearby craft stores. Size is up to you. For instance, a small one can be placed above your office desk, while a larger one can take up an entire wall in your room or study.
Step3: Cover your Board
Your creative skills come into play here. Choose a fabric that screams you. Select a solid color for a minimalist look, go funky with patterns, or even fabrics with inspiring quotes. Make sure the fabric is thick enough so the board doesnât show through.
Step4: Insert your Pins
Layout your fabric face down on a clean, flat surface. Place your board on top of the fabric and cut around the board, keeping an extra 2-inch edge around the board. Using a hot glue gun, stick the fabric onto the board from one side. Keep smoothing the fabric and repeat on the remaining sides.
