Whether female or male, young or old, a memo board can hold a life of memories to display and admire. Craft a fabric dressed memo board yourself easily in minutes to decorate a room with. Also perfect to give for a graduation gift.
A DIY ribbon memo board creates a beautiful showcase for memories.
With a few supplies in hand you will be prepared to create a beautiful French memo board.

- Batting for an upholstered effect.
- Your choice of fabric that will cover the surface adding a few inches extra in order to wrap the surface to the back.
- Any width and type of ribbon.
- Buttons (you can have fun using salvaged buttons in a mix of sizes and shapes for a unique look)

The only tools needed to complete the project are:
- A staple gun
- Scissors
- Tape
- Needle & thread
Follow Melissa’s easy tutorial at On The Rag Mag to make your beautiful board.
For a real easy fabric covered memo board simply cover cork with fabric and hang.
- Purchase cork boards already in a size that you want or buy a role of cork that you can cut to a large piece.
- Affix the cork to a piece of plywood, cut the same size, with some hot glue.
- Use fabric of your choice that is a large enough piece to cover and wrap the cork board ( recycle pretty drapes or sheets).
- Staple one side to the back and pull tight to staple the opposite side to the back. Repeat this on the adjacent two sides. Make sure to miter the corners so they look neat from the front.
- Attach a saw tooth hanger to the back or a pretty ribbon or rope can be stapled to the back for hanging.
