Incredible Picture Board |
Use a free cardboard box, fabric and bright yarn to make a custom picture board for your room or work area! Makes a great gift!
- Cut corrugated cardboard to the size you want for your board;
- Cut fabric to fit plus several inches on both sides
- Secure fabric with hot melt glue;
- Cut Incredible ribbon yarn strips to length (long enough to go from the back to the front crossways) and secure with hot glue -- be sure to pull yarn tight!
- Use fancy tacks where yarn crosses

Great Party Tips! |
|
|
Planning a birthday party for kids who can't read yet? Here is a great way to keep things straight! Pick as many different colors of yarns as you'll have kids attending (we used 5 different colors of BIG yarn.) Use the yarn to decorate and customize everything that the kids will be using -- goodie bags, hats, balloons -- the works! As the guests arrive, tie 'their' color yarn around their wrist and tell them that anything with that color is theirs. No one will mistake their party bag again! |
