Make: a photo display board

Posted by thisisknockout on July 27, 2012 · 2 Comments 

Really simple and attractive way of displaying photos and other little bits and pieces you want to show off (without having to ruin them with pins!). I put this together after getting some of my holiday snaps printed and not knowing what to do with them!

You will need

• A pin board – I picked up some small cheap ones for 99p
• Some material – I used some old pajama bottoms
• Staple gun
• Pins
• String or ribbon
• Some beautiful photos

Simply cut the material to cover the pin board and use the staple gun to secure it to the back. Make sure the material is pulled tightly as you go and make the corners tidy.

Either put your pins all the way around the edge, sticking them into the cork board, and wind string between them or staple strips of ribbon tightly across the board to enable you to slot your favourite photos, sketches, memos, gig tickets – what ever you fancy – in the gaps.
