I found an empty frame at my local thrift store a couple weeks ago and knew that it had amazing potential to become a cute memo and display board. It had some nicks and scuffs so I went for a shabby chic feel to this project. This frame was a 16×20; however, a variety of sizes would work with the same idea.
Shabby Chic Memo Board
First up was to pull out the spray paint. I went with a bright pink, partially because I love pink and partially because I already had it on hand.
Once the paint had dried, I used a staple gun to attach some picture wire in a criss-cross pattern; and added a sawtooth hanger to the top. The flowers are dimensional stickers by Jolee’s Boutique (similar: Gray Burlap, Gerbera Flower, and Polka Dot Flower). I enjoy using these flowers because they are real fabric and can add a sophisticated touch to projects. The picked these flowers because they added to the shabby chic feel of the memo board.
It won’t work as a memo board unless I have something to hold the memos to the board. I found some cute clothespins that had paper flowers attached at Michael’s.
This memo board would be a fun way to display cards and invites I received throughout the year. Currently they go on the pantry door with my clothespin wreath but this would be a fun change.
