Easy Message Board

This is one of the easiest crafts I’ve ever made! I actually made it on the couch while my son played on the floor! All you need are 3 items and you’ll have yourself a message board for little love notes or dinner menus!

Here is what you need:
1 frame, any size, from anywhere!
Duct tape (or any very sticky tape)
Piece of fabric about 1/2 inch bigger than your frame (try not to use anything too graphic, it will take away from what you write on the board.

Here is how you make it:
Place your fabric under the back board to the frame (if your frame doesnt have a hard enough back board, or you cant wrap fabric around it, use a piece of thin card board cut the size of your frame) Using the duct tape, tape one side of the fabric to the back of the frame that will be on the outside (see picture). Pull the opposite side tight and tape.

After you have 2 opposite sides taped, fold over each corner like you’re wrapping a gift and tape (see picture).

Once all the sides are taped make sure it is all tight (adjust if needed). Clean the glass before you put the back on. If you used cardboard just secure the frame like normal. If you taped onto the backboard use the duct tape to secure (in photo above). I didn’t want to attach a hook so I cut a hole where the hook on the frame was (I think whatever you choose to do is fine).

Now you have a wonderful message board! You can make one for each child and put it on their door, or write this weeks dinner menu in the kitchen! Whatever you choose I know it will be lovely, and best of all it was super easy!!!
