Happy Thursday! Hope everyone is having a great week!
This week marks Restyle It Wright’s one month Blogiversary! What a busy month it’s been!
Thank you all so much for supporting me and leaving sweet comments along the way. I can’t wait to see where this little blog goes. Thank you for inspiring me every day.
I am getting so close to Drew’s Room Reveal and I can’t wait! Checking this big one off the to-do list will be a relief. I’m wrapping up a few last minute details to his room, which includes doing some good ‘ol bookcase styling.
As I was styling his bookcase, I was inspired to collect items I had around the house to DIY a sweet little memo board to place on one of the shelves to hold his mementos.
Without further ado:
Then continue to fold up the fabric and staple the same way you did the other sides
gently pulling up and over the frame and stapling into the cork.
When all the sides are complete the back will look similar to this.
5. Now it’s time to flip her over and admire your work!
As you can see my pattern isn’t perfectly straight, but c’est la vie. I could should have redone it, but when all was said and done it was hardly noticeable.
At this point you could leave the board as is and you’d have yourself a cute little memo board to hang on the wall or place on a desk, however, I wanted a bit more of a decorative element. So, if you want to add more, on to step 6!
6. Purchase some thumb tacks you like or grab some if you have them lying around. Depending on the size of your board will determine how many you’ll need. I had these sweet gold ones left over from a memo board I did earlier this year so that’s what I used. (Man, I’m really starting to look like a hoarder!) There are about 25 in a box and for a board this size I used 26 pins. The left over pins are used to pin the items you want displayed onto the board.
7. Once you have your pins, you’re going to line up a measuring tape or ruler next to the side of the board this this:

I love how easy this is, yet it creates a whole new look for your space. The gold pins definitely add a sophisticated touch. I want to do this when we move into our new house later this year ! 🙂
I am loving the fabric you chose! I think your memo board came out awesome!!
Love that fabric. It makes a unique and snazzy memo board. Great job!
I love this, it's such a fun way to fancy up a cork board. I need to do this with mine to match my office/bonus room!
I love the print and how quick it was to make. Perfect to make for DIY novices like me who need help in the renovation skills department lol!
Your step by step instructions are WONDERFUL! Even I think I can follow them and do this! Thanks~
This is so darling! I love the fabric that you chose to cover it with. So darling!
What an awesome idea. Simple enough that even I could do it. Very cool.
What a cool idea!!! Hmmm I'm going to need to step up my board!! Haaa!! Congrats on your one month as a blogger. Much success to you!!
This is a great idea! I have wanted to cover our three cork boards with fabric for a while now, but haven't done it yet. This looks pretty easy though!
This memo board is so pretty and I love how you can customize it with the print and design that suits you. I've never been very creative but I think I can totally do this.
That is so fun! I love how something fun came from an inspiration for your son, what a sweet project.
I adore this idea so much. It turns a boring cork board into something more inspiring and fun.
That look so cute and easy to make. I need to make one for my guest bedroom!
That's really pretty! I'd love to do something like that sometime.
Adorable you did a great job! I really want to try this!
This looks really gorgeous. I was looking at buying one the other day, but it looks so simple to make one I may as well do it myself 🙂 thanks!
That looks really nice. I think even I could tackle a project like this. Amber N
