Frugal Weekend Project

Over the weekend, I made a simple bulletin board without spending any money. WOO! HOO! Many of you will be familiar with the bulletin board look I chose to make.

I found an empty picture frame in the attic and stapled the chicken wire to the frame and painted it black.

I had leftover scrapbook paper.


I had clothes pins left-over from a project many moons, ago.



I had Mod Podge in the cabinet.

I cut the scrapbook paper into strips to fit the clothes pins.  I used the Mod Podge to attach the strips to the clothes pins.


Here is a close-up of one of the clothes pins after it had dried on the bulletin board.


Here is the completed project hanging above my oldest son's office desk area.

This was a great EASY Frugal Project, which did not take too much time!!

Enjoy your week!

  6. Hi, Wanda! Nice to "meet" a fellow Okie! This project turned out great. I really like what you did with your clothes pins and the chicken wire. I've never thought about painting it! That's a great idea.
