DIY Bulletin Board

I have recently found a very cool way to make DIY bulletin boards. Bulletin boards are one of my favorite things. You get to display everything you do, concert tickets, pictures, bracelets, and other memorabilia. It is also a great place to hang your jewelry like necklaces and bracelets that you wear all the time or even pin notes as reminders. 

What you Need:
  • Canvas Board (any size)
  • acrylic paint
  • paint brushes
  • push pins
  • easel/newspapers
  • cup of water
  • paper plate
  • any other crafts you would want to put on the board (optional)
  • nails
  • hammer

What to Do:

  1.  Take your easel or newspaper and get your station set up. Get your cup of water and a plate for you to put the paint that you want on. You don't want to have to be scrambling trying to find what you need while you have wet paint. 
  2. Paint the canvas whatever color(s) you have chosen. Let that dry and paint any additional coats as desired. Make sure the paint is dried completely before hanging.
  3. Clean your paint brushes thoroughly. 
  4. Take your hammer and nails and measure your painted canvas board to where you would like to hang it. Hammer a nail into the wall (or whatever desired way of hanging the board). 
  5. Use your push pins and start hanging up whatever you please and enjoy your DIY Custom Bulletin Board!
