This idea is also a tutorial on jonesdesigncompany.com [seriously love her ideas...]
Bought this foam paper for cheap, and the wood for cheap. Made a frame (and used a saw!!!) and nailed the foam board to the frame, and added some tape too.
* Cut a piece of fabric into MANY 2.5 inch strips.
This fabric has a great story. We were in a lamp market a while back and I saw it laying on the floor. I loved it and asked what they used it for. She said they had used it to cover stuff when they were painting, so I asked her if I could have it and she said yes! It was almost 2 yards of fabric :)
* Then tacked the fabric along the backside of the board. This took forever and my thumbs hurt, and the tacks kept breaking, a staple gun would have worked MUCH better if I had one.
Flipped it over and tacked down the long side then weaved the short side through.
Finished.
Added some other things I had made. Some things are hot glued on somethings are pinned on.
Cut this A out of the same foam board and painted it black.
Hung over our bed (don't mind the mess). Our room is pretty tiny hey.
