Makin' It Monday

I am going to use another project from Mykenzie's room for this weeks Makin' It Monday post.

After flipping through a Pottery Barn Kids catalog I came across a message board that I knew would be perfect for Mykenzie's new room.  (it is no longer on their website)  They ran around $240 on sale when I was looking.  There was absolutely no freaking way I was paying that much!  Insanity.  Instead I picked out 2 fabrics, some cork 12x12 squares, a sheet of dry erase board cut into 12x12 squares, a quarter inch thick sheet of birch, and a couple pieces of molding.

I used spray adhesive to attach the fabric to the cork squares and I used velcro strip to attach each square to the birch incase we ever wanted to change it out.  I love how it turned out and now that she has had it in her room for 6 months, I have to say it was a good project cause she uses it all the time.  It was super easy to make and cost a LOT less than $240!  Thanks for the inspiration though Pottery Barn Kids
