D.I.Y Picture Board

This afternoon I got a little crafty and created a board to hang our 16 x 20 family picture. I love it and the best thing is I had everything on hand. I originally wanted to find a good old detailed frame, but couldn't and then I came up with this beauty in our hallway!

Like I said before I had everything on hand and this what I used to create this lovely! :)

Some plywood. I already had this cut from another project and it ended up being 

19 x 29 I believe.

Then pick your fabric you want and cut it to the size of your board with an extra inch on each side to fold over onto the back. ( I got this lovely piece of fabric from a fabric swap night with some girl-friends, score!)

Then take your Spray Adhesive and spray the board and place your fabric over and rub the creases out, until nice and smooth. Turn your board over and spray the edge of the board to fold over the fabric onto the back of the board. 

*keep in mind spray adhesive is really sticky, be sure to use it outside with something underneath your project. You may also want to wear some disposable vinyl gloves, so you're not scrubbing and scrubbing your fingers off like I did, oops)

And this is what it should look like afterwards. All nice, smooth and tight!

Once you have that all completed take your picture and place it on top, all lined up, then I used thumb tacks and placed them at the corners of my picture and pushed them in. Then hot glued some ribbon on the back to hang it all onto the wall. 

Now you have a unique frame board for your family picture or whatever you decide to use it. You can quickly turn it into just a decorated board without a picture.

The uses are endless. :)
