Pin this for later!<\/strong><\/p>\n Contents<\/p> Word of caution: The staple gun<\/a> is really loud so M took Baby K for a walk outside while I do this project. If you have young kids who might be afraid of loud noise, try to do it somewhere where they are not or get a family member to take them out for a bit. Also, try not to do it at night as the neighbours might hear you. I felt like I was doing construction work with loud sounds.<\/p>\n Place your linen, fabric, or old curtain on the floor with the front part facing the floor. You want to make sure that it is flat and smooth.<\/p>\n The reason why the cloth needs to be at least 5 inches wider and taller than the board is because you need enough cloth to wrap around it. You can always cut the extra linen off if needed.<\/p>\n Similar to putting the cloth on the floor, you want to put your bulletin board facing downwards. Place it in the middle of the cloth where you will have plenty of leftover cloth to staple behind the bulletin board.<\/p>\n This is the fun yet really loud part. Start from the middle of one side and staple it down to the wood part of the frame.<\/p>\n Then, I went to the opposite side. I pulled the cloth so that it is tight and staple it down on the opposite side. The reason for this is that you want a smooth look in the front of the bulletin board.<\/p>\n At first, I would staple them 5 to 6 inches apart. Don’t worry, we will add reinforcements later. After you staple all four sides down generally, we will then tackle the corners to create a smooth look.<\/p>\n Cut out the extra linen as necessary. It is better to use fabric scissors<\/a> as mine was regular scissors and the lines were not straight.<\/p>\n Take the corners and fold them towards the center of the board. When you are holding them tightly, you can staple them down. This will create a smooth corner while you turn it around to take a look.<\/p>\n You might need to add more staples on the sides of the corner to hold it down properly.<\/p>\n Now, add more staples throughout the sides where you see necessary. I stapled in between each of the staples (in step 3) while pulling at the cloth to make sure that it is snug and tight.<\/p>\n This will ensure that it is secure and no bagginess in the front when I pin heavier stuff on the bulletin board.<\/p>\n I wanted to create a pocket at the bottom of my bulletin board so that I can put things in it without pinning it. It could be oversize letters or heavier items that I rather not pin.<\/p>\n Using a leftover cloth which was about 9 inches tall (7 after stapling it on), I wrapped it around the bulletin board and staple it down.<\/p>\n If you would like to add the pocket as well, use the same method as above except that it is only 3 sides instead of 4.<\/p>\n Once you are done, hang it up and decorate as you wish. It is a really fun and simple way to add a functional yet pretty piece to your wall.<\/p>\n Thank you so much for reading.
