Home Work Room Re-Do, ( part TWO)
In a previous post , I showed how I did the desk tops in this super cool homework room
for a family with FIVE girls
WELL, here is the room with the desks tops finished, and NEW BULLETIN BOARDS
I took photos for step by step on how to make these cool bulletin boards.

I need a few of these in MY HOUSE!!

lay board on fabric, cut fabric and start stapling the fabric to the back of the board
stapling fabric to bulletin board

What kind of board did you cut? I have made bulletin boards before, and had a hard time pushing the pins into the board.
Homasote- it is some sort of recycled pressed paper- it is greyish and a lot of builders use it to put on floors to protect them during construction- it comes 4 ft x 8 ft sheets and is usually $20 per sheet!!
super cheap!!
and easy to press pins into!
[...] Homework Re-Do #2 (bulletin boards) [...]
Love the chairs, do tell where you purchased them or what fabric !
The chairs are from IKEA- and the fabric came on them, but the might sell the fabric by itself? pretty cute!
I would love to create a bulletin board for my granddaughers school/art work. What kind of fabric did you place on the board? Will any color work?
I would use a fabric that has a little texture to it so the pin holes do not show so much when you take art work down, and a small pattern would be great too!
