What Lurks Below...The Tale Of A Memo Board

Isn't this memo board lovely?

Well, I'm going to show you the "not so pretty" truth 

about how I put her together.

It all started here, 

with this print I bought at a yard sale for $5.

The print was faded, but I loved the frame!

I decided to turn it into a fabric covered memo board.

I took the picture out of the frame. 

I cut fabric a few inches larger than the glass.

Now, here's where it turns ugly.

I laid the glass from the picture down on the fabric.

Using duct tape, I started taping the fabric to the back of the glass.

 Once I had the fabric tape down, 

I started taping jute to the back and 

wrapping it around the glass.

And, here's what lurks beneath the lovely memo board...

 ...a hideous mess!

Now, to hide the mess...

I placed the fabric covered glass back into the frame.

I placed the foam core from the original picture

 back into the frame and secured it to the frame 

with a framing gun.

Whew! The mess is hidden!

No one will ever know.

Well, unless they read my blog.

I added some mini clothespins...

  ...and it's ready for appointment cards, pictures, or notes.

Shhh...

don't tell anyone what is hidden behind this beauty!
