I made this board for Ella's room. She wanted a place to hang her ribbons and other small things.
First, I painted an old frame black. Next I used hot glue to adhere a piece of cork to the backing board. I bought the cork roll at Michaels for a couple dollars. Using my hot glue gun again, I wrapped a piece of fabric around the board and glued it down on the back side.
Right now, her dream is to be a ballerina. So... I decided to add one by making a freezer stencil.
I love-love freezer stencils.
Here's an easy tutorial:
~ Trace your image onto freezer paper (I bought the paper at Walmart).
~ Cut it out with an exacto knife, avoid over cuts so the paint won't run.
~ Iron the stencil to the fabric. Make sure the shiny side is down (touching the fabric). Concentrate on the getting all the edges to stick down well.
