Difficulty rating: ****

Time to prepare: ***

Cleaning up: **

Activity time: It depends entirely on your DIY skills but roughly 40 minutes to one hour.

You will need:

1. A wooden frame or piece of styrofoam
2. Fabric of your choice 
3. Staple gun or thumbnails 
4. Measuring tape
5. Pretty pins or thumbnails for decoration           

Step #1

• Stretch the fabric over the wooden frame or styrofoam.
• Use the staple gun or thumbnails to secure it in position on the back of the board. 

Step #2

• Secure the measuring tape across the width and length of the board.
• First secure one end with a staple or thumbnail on the back of the board.
• Stretch the measuring tape over the front of the board and secure on the other side. 
• Before punching in the staple, make sure that the measuring tape is loose enough to slip a picture between ut and the board but tight enough for the picture not to fall out.

Step #3

• Use pretty pins or thumbnails as decorations.
• Secure them in the areas where the measuring tapes overlap.

Step #4

• Pin your favourite photos, inspirational messages or child's art. 

TIP!!!
