DIY // pinboard

A few years ago I created a pinboard from an old embroidery hoop and some vintage fabric. And now. Finally. I bring it to you.


YOU WILL NEED:
// Embroidery hoop
// Cotton (or any other light fabric) - enough to sit over your embroidery hoop
// Padding - enough to sit over your embroidery hoop
// Two lengths of lace or string
// Fabric scissors
// Hot glue gun


STEP ONE
// Place the hoop over the padding and trace inside with a marker.
// Carefully cut out the padding. It should be a circle that fits inside the hoop.


STEP TWO
// Trace inside the hoop onto your fabric


STEP THREE
// Now line the padding up with the traced circle on the fabric.


STEP THREE
// Attach the padding to the fabric around the edge of the circle with a hot glue gun.


STEP FOUR
// Lay the embroidery hoop over the fabric and thread edges through the gap around its edge.


STEP FIVE
// Turn the hoop over and pull taut, tightening the knob as you go.



STEP SIX
// Add in your desired ribbon/lace. I added two layers so I could pin more on the board.


STEP SEVEN
// Finally, turn the pinboard over and trim the excess fabric.
// Glue down with a hot glue gun



VOILA! Now you have a handy pinboard to display cards, photos, or what ever else inspires you!

What do you think about?

These dip-dyed stools? I have just purchased a stool from a thrift shop, and I'm am planning to revive it by making it look like one of these. What do you think?
