My handmade tack board is a perfect spot to display the 1940s postcards I am offering for sale in my new SoNo Market Place stall. It was super easy to make. Here's how...
I found the large oval frame at the thrift store. In my supply closet, I gathered together these materials: scissors, a roll of cork, an X-Acto knife, foam core, a can of spray mount, vintage fabric, a staple gun, brown kraft paper, double-sided tape, picture wire, and two eye hooks.
With an X-Acto knife, I cut both the foam core and cork to fit the frame. Then I glued them together with a generous coat of spray mount.
I pulled the fabric taut, stapled it to the backside of the frame, and trimmed off the excess fabric. Using more spray mount, I glued the cork and foam core to the fabric.
Using double-sided tape, I secured brown kraft paper to the back of the frame and added eye hooks and picture wire.
All done! Now wasn't that easy?

Thanks Susan for showing me what that was. I had noticed it, but didn't know if you had Mod Podged those or what. That is a really neat idea. You always think of the neatest things. Cool job!
