So, I was having a squizz through my photos, and realised I had shown you a photo and said I was going to do a post about it, but I haven't yet... so here it is now.

I had a frame sitting around for ages that I was planning on doing something with, and then I decided that a memo/pin board was the best option. I always have little notes lying around that I need to put somewhere, if this hanging in my bedroom or craft room, it is more likely I will revisit those notes!

I had already painted the frame an awesome blue colour {It's a resene paint in the kids range, not sure of the name at this point in time} with a whitewash on top.

I did this project with my hot glue gun! I would have used a staple gun or such but don't have one, and the thought didn't even cross my mind to just use an ordinary stapler. Anyway, I started in the middle, and went around pulling tight and letting the glue dry {you can see the lines of glue in these photos} I put the fabric on top of some stuffing to give it a bit of puff because it looked a bit better like that.





I then got my ric-rac {I was going to use elastic, but thought the ric-rac looked cool} and glued it down, I then put a small piece of fabric on top, to help it stick a bit better.







This was a really quick and easy project to do, and took only half an hour through nap time. Now I need to actually put it on the wall! I'm thinking of buying some of those mini clothes pins to hang things on it with.
