while sifting through some memo samples we had ordered for a client, i came up with an idea to use a bunch of different fabrics to make a colorful and inexpensive bulletin board! i’m so excited about this idea, though i don’t know just yet how it’s going to come together. first step: order a bunch of similar color memo samples. memos are great because they are about 8″ squares of a specific textile, and they are FREE! my thoughts are to sew them together almost like a quilt, in maybe 4″ or 5″ squares, then attach them to ether some cork, thick cardboard, or an inexpensive bulletin board. i could probably even use foam board. i’m also envisioning the fabric to wrap right around whatever it is mounted on, so no frame. i’ll have to request the assistance of my home-ec mother for the sewing part, but i think this will be a very cool look.
here are some of the fabrics i’ve ordered:
