So I’m sitting here thinking what could I make today I could use a new Inspiration board but I need it to also help me keep track of the current projects I am working on or may want to make in the future. So here is what I have come up with. An Inspiration /Project Board and because of covid I am just using supplies I already have in my current art supplies.
Supplies
Foam board 1 sheet
Tissue paper 2 sheets
Ribbon a yard or some scraps
Yarn 1 yard or scraps
Glue
Ruler
Hot glue
Popsicle stick
Scissors or exacto
Start with a 20X30 piece of foam board that you can get at
the dollar store
You will need 5 pieces from this board
1 20 inches X 19 inches
4 20 inches by 1 inch
Cover the 20 X 19 piece with your choice of tissue paper in my example I first glued 1 light green sheet of tissue paper to cover the board. I then had 1 piece that looked like birch wood and glued tat on top of it to give the green color underneath this is also something I had picked up at the dollar store.
For the 20 X 1 inch pieces I painted them black trimming 2 of them down to 17 inches long then wrapping them with the green tissue paper to get a darker green for my frame.
Now just hoy glue the 1 inch strips around board so it looks something like this
Use a scrap piece of yarn to create a hanger for your board and attach it to back you can reinforce the hanger with pieces of a Popsicle stick.
you can just leave it plane like this to use as an inspiration board or add pockets like I did to create little pockets to hold information on the projects that I will be working on.
I used pieces of scrap ribbons to create pockets on the board.
4) 6 inch long pieces
4) 5 inch long pieces
To attach I folded a ½ inch of ribbon on the sides and hot glued to the board once sides were attached added glue on the bottom to create the closed pocket.
Dressing it up a bit more, I added another scrap piece of yarn that i would be able to hang a banner that said create from it. This banner was made from scraps of different papers I had, this is what it ended up looking like. As you can see it is very light weight so light that it could hang on a light switch without moving it. Would love to see your versions of this quick and easy project. Happy crafting to you all.
