Crafting The Day Away

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.
