Small Memo Boards

Pin It

I will be honest and say that the project I have to share with you today is so simple, I am almost embarrassed to even share a tutorial on it! I made it a while back to serve a purpose in our office and never really intended for it to be a project. However, with the holiday's quickly approaching I started thinking it might make a nice simple gift for a friend or teacher, so here it is. An 8x10 memo board.
The materials I needed for this project literally came from my scrap bucket. Left over fabric, left over batting, an old frame with a broken glass insert, and a folder. That's it!
First I cut the folder down to an 8x10 size (I used a folder because it was sturdy as well as handy.) Then, I mounted the quilter's batting onto the folder using hot glue (of course!).Next, I cut the fabric to size and hot glued it to the folder over the batting as well.
Finally, I used a regular black paint pen to add our initial and personalize it. Then I just simply popped it back into the frame. Simple, simple, simple.
I found some decorative push pins at a local "everything" store and used my new framed memo board in just the right office spot. What do you think? Do you have any scrap fabric lying around that could be transformed into a last minute gift? My frame is a little boring, I can just imagine the possibilities if you actually went out and purchased specific materials!

I'll be linking to these parties this week. Hope to see you there!

Happy Thursday!
