How to make a Square Pin Board

This is the same technique as the Heart Shaped Pin Board I showed you how to make, but this one is a square one! Feel free to make it larger, or to make it rectangular! It’s really up to you and can be adapted to what you want!

See the Heart Shaped Pin Board for the first steps of cutting and sticking, and then follow through these ones to continue…

What you need:

Lots of corrugated cardboard!

Pens and pencils A large piece of white card (as big as you want your board to be) - optional

PVA Glute Stanley knife or sharp scissors

1 M of covering fabric (patterned or plain)

1 M of fleece or wadding

6M bias binding/ribbon/material strips for the criss-crossing

Decorations for the front

Lots of dress making pins (get a pack, just to be on the safe side!) A stapler and extra staples

I love this board… can’t believe I’m giving it away! Luck Mum… 20120202-084035.jpg Sticking the double-sided sticky padded flowers down.

Enjoy making!
