How-to Recover a Bulletin Board

Recovering a bulletin board is easy-peasy.

 My son's bulletin board has been recovered for the 3rd time. The first time, well, not so pretty. The 2nd time, with the ill-fated burlap. Now with chic black and white stripes, my favourite colour combo {I guess they aren't considered colours, but for simplicity I will call them colours}

What you  need for this project is:

• A bulletin board, preferably one with a frame
• Fabric
• Staple gun
• Upholstery tacks
• Hanging brackets

1. Measure your bulletin board {this one has been re-covered a few times, doesn't look pretty}

2. Cut out desired fabric 3" larger than the board, on all sides.

3. Lay the front side of the board on fabric. Make sure it is centred.

4. Staple one side.

5. Staple opposite sides, then top and bottom. Making sure fabric is lined up and taut, leaving corners free.

6.  Fold in corner {see photo} and staple.

7. Fold over each side, like you are wrapping a present. Staple.

8. Using the frame of the board as a guide, push upholstery tacks along the edge, making sure they are evenly space.

8. Hang up using desired hanging brackets.

Easy-peasy.
