Framed DIY Memo Board Supplies:

  • Darice Unfinished 8 x 10″ wood frame
  • Craft paint and foam brush
  • Painter’s tape (optional)
  • Darice Oh So Trendy! Ribbon
  • Scissors & craft knife
  • 10×12″ scrap of fabric
  • Foam board
  • Hot glue
  • Darice framed chalkboard mini clothespins
  • David Tutera Chalk pen

Framed-DIY-memo-board-Darice-2To begin, paint the frame with the foam brush and craft paint. I applied a single layer of white paint to the entire surface of the frame…

Framed-DIY-memo-board-Darice-3…before taping off a 1/2″ border around the center opening with painter’s tape and applying a coat of yellow paint. Allow the paint to dry completely.

Framed-DIY-memo-board-Darice-4Use the craft knife to cut an 8×10″ piece of foam board. With the fabric piece face down on a work surface, center the foam board piece on top of the fabric piece. Wrap the excess fabric tightly to the back of the foam board, adhering with hot glue.

Framed-DIY-memo-board-Darice-5Using scissors, cut four 12″ strips of ribbon. Arrange the pieces on the front side of the fabric/foam board piece in a crisscross configuration, as shown, and use hot glue to secure the ends of the ribbon pieces to the back of the piece. Make sure the ribbon is pulled nice and tight! Slip the finished fabric and ribbon insert into the frame.

Framed-DIY-memo-board-Darice-6Print off some favorite photos, and use the chalk pen to write a date or memory regarding each photo onto the chalkboard clothespins. Affix the photos to the board with the clothespins.

Framed-DIY-memo-board-Darice-7In no time at all, your framed ribbon DIY memo board is complete! This board is the perfect way to display a number of favorite photos all in one place. This same concept would be a great as a Christmas card holder, too!
