D.I.Y. Recoverable Fabric Bulletin Board Tutorial
You’ll need:
- Foam insulation board (Mine was a pink pre-cut square from Home Depot)
- Sturdy fabric, cut 2 inches larger than insulation board on all sides
- Flat-headed sewing pins
1. Lay the fabric on your foam board, making sure that you have 2 inches of fabric on all sides to tuck under.
2. Without picking up the board or disturbing your fabric, secure each corner with a pin–– as seen in the second photo–– making sure to pull each side taunt prior to pinning.
3. After all four corners have been secured, turn the board over. (I found it helpful to stand it up.) As in the third photo, pin fabric to the back of the board, pulling fabric taunt prior to pinning. Use as many pins as needed.
And that’s it! Take out the pins and recover when you want a new look for your bulletin board.
