Framed Memo Board Tutorial

Framed Memo Board Tutorial

Items Needed:

Lg. Frame

Cardboard

Quilt Batting

Fabric

Ribbon

Hot Glue Gun

*I bought a frame from the dollar store! I sanded it a little and then

painted it aqua and dry brushed lime green over top.

I love how it turned out!

First cut a piece of card board to fit inside the frame.

I used the mat that came with the frame as a guide.

Then cut a piece of quilt batting to the same size

as the card board piece.

Place card board on top of fabric and use as a

guide to cut the out fabric piece. It needs to overlap

approximately 2 inches wide on all sides of cardboard.

Place batting on to back side of fabric.

Place cardboard over batting.

Using the hot glue gun run a bead of glue along one edge of cardboard.

Carefully pull fabric over top of glue to tack in to place.

Follow this step on remaining 3 sides of cardboard.

The fabric does not need to be pulled really tight,

just enough so the fabric lays nice and flat over the batting.

Carefully turn corners of fabric under and glue in to place.

Try and keep fabric flat so the board will fit in to the frame nicely!

Repeat till you have all the corners tacked in to place.

This is how the board should look once fabric is glued in to place.

I added ribbon to give it a French Memo look!

I cut ribbon pieces and lay them out on top of the board

to see how I wanted them arranged before I started

to glue in to place. You can use less or more ribbon

depending on the look you are going for!

Using small dots of hot glue tack ribbons down in desired pattern!

Place fabric board in to frame and tack in to place.

(Some frames come with backings and some don't, if yours

has a back make sure your fabric board in not to bulky to put it back on.)

Finished board!!!

Decorated and hanging in my Kitchen!

I used some straight pins to hang photos as well as using the ribbon!

Enjoy! Meg
