Make a Wallboard Organizer

It feels good to have a place to keep things in order!

These wall boards are easy to make from cardboard. (Like those moving boxes in the basement!)

To make your own:
  • Determine the size board you want and cut two pieces of cardboard to that size. Two makes the board thick enough to handle thumbtacks and pins.
  • Tape the pieces together using duct tape.
  • Cover board with fabric (I used canvas and burlap). Use duct tape or a staple gun to attach fabric to board. 
  • Hang the board: For the smaller board, I used upholstery tacks to attach ribbon to the back of the board. I hung it from an over-the-door wreath hanger. I used a staple gun to attach three hooks to the back of the large board. These hang on three upholstery tacks nailed in the wall.
  • Get organized!  You may want to make labels for the different tasks that need your attention.
