I am in the process of writing a How-to Decorate your room guide. So before I finished that, I wanted to write a post about how to make my FAVORITE decoration I have in my room. My very own Memories Board!
What You Will Need:
*A cork board.
You can get one at any office supplies store, dollar store, or thrift store ( I got mine at a garage sale!). Any size, but the bigger the better. Mine is half the size of me!
*Fabric scraps.
Any color or pattern. Mine is just some scraps from clothes I was making.
*Thumbtacks.
Lots of them!
*Life Memories.
This can be anything. I have pictures of my adventures, pictures of the important people in my life, wristbands from concerts, notes and drawings from people I love, jewelry, pins, souvenirs from places I've been, and any other momentos that remind me what a great life I have!
What to do:
*Put the fabric on your board.
Lay your cork board flat out on the ground. Arrange all your different fabric scraps on it, so that none of the cork shows thru. Use thumbtacks to keep them in place.
Now for the fun part!
*Arrange your life memories on the board.
With the cork board still flat on the ground, gather together all your pictures and objects, and rearrange them however you want on the board! Use thumbtacks to keep these in place also.

Not only is this a great addition to any room, but it's a great everyday reminder of how thankful you should be for your life! Every couple of months switch it up, and add new things to it.
And that's it! Super simple! Now either hang your board up, or lean it up against something to show it off!
Peace Love and Memories
