I had been wanting a giant pinboard for my office, but I didn't want a traditional corkboard. In my head, I was picturing something that looked more like a custom piece of wall art with a beautiful color or pattern. One day, I saw someone cover a foam board with fabric to create artwork, and I immediately thought... Wait! That would be perfect for sticking push pins into. It was inexpensive, easy to make, and completely transformed my workspace. If you've been looking for a f

You will need a platter, paint, paint pen, and clear gaze finisher. I got the platters from Homegoods ($12 each) and the other items I got from Hobby Lobby. I had mom help me.
