Memo board
Cut a rectangle out of box cardboard 16"x20" or any size you like.
To make the hanger, punch two holes 1/2 inch apart 1 inch from the top in the center,
thread the ends of a twisty tie (paper covered wire used to close bread) thru the holes, turn cardboard over, make a loop and twist the ends together.
Cut a piece of fabric two inches larger than the cardboard.
Lay cardboard on top of fabric, run a bead of elmers glue around the edge of cardboard and wrap fabric to the back like a present and glue down the edges/folds. You could add ribbon in a geometric pattern or use push pins to pin up notes, photos, cards...
(for fabric you can use a shirt or sweater you don't wear anymore)

Decorating ideas?!?!?

Hi, I need help with my decorating my bedroom. I am 20 years old and finally updating my room and making it more "adult" no more posters. but Im not sure what to do. I have lots of wall space to hang stuff, with the walls being brown and white. Any ideas of websites to make it more adultish, let me know
Answer
I am considerably older than you; however, I would like to decorate my apartment. I would, I don't want to live in someone one else's ideas. Money is the problem, but I have had some thoughts on the subject of the bedroom to make it more feminine, more comfortable looking.
I looked at wall murals. I am in Alaska, the winters are long, and the days so dark. Then I saw ceiling murals. There was one which looked like a window, with a blue sky and a tree with blossoms. There were lights which could
go with that. People have a problem with seasonal affective disorder here due to the long hours of no light. They get special lights to try to help that. This may sound silly to you, but I thought it was so "neat". Some of my grandkids had stickers of some sort on the ceiling which were glow in the dark, soft glow, moons and stars. I am silly enough that I really liked those.
I thought of putting a soft green shag rug on the floor, like grass. Then having
Brown framed furniture or a bed with no frame, either really high, or a water bed on the floor, with a spread which looked like water lillies. Then, a wall mural of some beautiful outdoor scene.No animals, only flowers, or the woods. I know by now you think I am silly, but I grew up in the country and loved walking in the grass, smelling the leaves, flowers,
feeling the sunshine on me; sometimes I would lie on the grass, in the warmth by the streams and smell the flowers, etc. Hear the birds. I wanted the ceiling a light blue, with the moon and stars decals. I wanted some plants or something which looked like flowers, not really big or obtrusive. Recordings of music with birds, birds. Wild birds waking up or going to sleep are so peaceful sounding. I have a flute recording with birds singing in it which I listen to in the A.M. when I have my cup of coffee. I love to get up early, four thirty to six somewhere, and sit and listen to the birds and drink my cup of coffee, read my Bible a little, plan the day. I feel so much better in the summer, but I am so hot I could die, that is why the fans are so important. I thought about gardenia, or honey suckle
scented candles with the fan: very faint. (country ambience. spelling.) If I could get a recording of a whipporwill
and crickets with the birds, I probably would. I am not sure, sometimes I miss the flora and fauna. Only the flora and fauna. Not the homo sapiens. I am sure you are too sophisticated for that. A very discreet fan would be great. I must have a fan now, all the time. The net from the ceiling sounded good there, too.
I figured people would laugh at me, so moving right along, I thought of other things such as....
I thought about putting some trim around the top edge of the wall where it meets the ceiling, the wall paper strips, and around the window, something cheerful.There are only blinds. I thought of sheers with a valance draped across the top, and the rest hanging down. Flowers across the window, some good artificial or silk ones , not gaudy but soft and all across the top of the window and doors? I thought about
the drapery or whatever it is called which hangs from the ceiling and goes around the bed, with a pretty soft bedspread and many, many colorful pillows and a body pillow so I can read in bed, which I do. Then soft music from a discreet source with night music. .
Area rugs? Pretty lamps? Painting the bedroom with one wall a solid color and the other a very light. The bedroom was the main thing because
I have problems falling asleep in the winter. Once I fall asleep, I am usually ok. I need to keep the "colors " soft, and the atmosphere peaceful so I can fall asleep.
But since I cant do anything with the apartment because it is subsidized, and since I am poverty level, there is very little I can do. It was fun thinking about it though. If you can use
any of these ideas, great. That would be wonderful. I would love to hear what you do.
