Shabby Chic Memo Board

September 4, 2014

While out shopping recently I saw one of those cute memo boards,I am sure you have seen it a frame with chicken wire.When I saw it a light bulb went off in my head and I started thinking about a shabby chic memo board.

I started looking a some of the frames I have saved and came across one that I thought would work perfectly.

This is the frame I had on my mantle recently before I changed things around.

It is nice and large and is quite heavy.

I went through my basket of scrap fabrics and found a two pretty patterns.

One is just a soft pink,I guess that’s not a pattern and the other has sweet petite rose’s.

Both are from Rachel Ashwell’s  Simply Shabby Chic line.

I pulled out my fabric shears and started making small cuts into the fabric,then I ripped off the pieces.

I wanted a soft frayed look.

Then I pulled out my glue gun flipped this frame over and started.

I am using a glue gun because if I decide to change this back to a frame it will be easy to pull the pieces off.

First I glued the strips of fabric horizontally,alternating between the two fabrics.

Then I started doing a basket weave pattern,again alternating fabrics.

You can really mix this up with different fabrics or create a cool pattern.

I think it looks pretty just as but I added a few things to mine.

I just added a few family photos and my word flash cards.

But what a fun inspiration board this will be too!

I just stuck those photos into the fabric  no need for tacks or tape.

But you could still us mini clothes pins too.

Now where to hang it?

Sharing soon!

    That is really cute, Anne. I like that you used fabric instead of the usual chickenwire.

    Hi Anne,
    What a pretty project – so dainty with the floral print and frayed edges. Love the texture of this.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

ABOUT THIS BLOG

Hi I'm Anne.
I started this blog many years ago to share my passion for home decor. My tastes have changed and so did I.
We recently moved to Florida and we are starting a new chapter. My main focus on this blog has shifted. With that I'll be sharing more than home decor.
You'll see makeup tips, skincare, fashion and a little bit of decor as well. You can check out my Youtube channel as well and follow me along. I'll leave all of my older posts up as a reference. But you'll see lots of changes.
