I wish I could say that I came up with this clever idea, but the credit has to go to my handy hubby.
I'd been searching for reasonably priced bulletin boards for my kids for quite a while, but anything that was a good size also carried a hefty price tag ($20-$30 each). So my genius husband came up with the idea to use some carboard, an old sheet, and some duct tape...of course!
We used a king size sheet that we haven't used in years (we're flannel sheet snobs now that we're used to them). Hubby cut the cardboard, and I cut the fabric. Then I taped the edges down on the backside of the cardboard (sort of like wrapping gift wrapping), and hubby hung them in the kids' rooms.
I was a bit skeptical, but normal tacks work beautifully! It was free, simple, fun, the kids love them, and it works great. Now THAT works for me!
UPDATE: For a more heavy duty bulletin board from scratch, CLICK HERE.
BTW...I'm hosting a new weekly carnival starting this week. Come see what it's about!

Nana, nana boo boo, I-I was first! :P
(But you had a better tip!) :)
What a neat idea! Thanks for a great tip!
looks great, I was surprised to see it was made of cardboard
I've been looking for an idea for something above my desk. I want to do a bulletin board and magnet board combo but don't like the look of the cork style boards. Thanks for the great (and cheap!) idea. Love it!
That's a cool and cheap idea! Might have to try it...
Very clever - looks great!
Great idea! I've been looking for a bulletin board as well but the price has kept me away. I will definitely be making one of these. Thanks!
I'm hating that the recycling man just pick up loads of flattened boxes from me...I will be doing this...eventually. Thank you, I mean your hubby, for the great tip!
Oh, and it will be the flannel sheets I use for this...they are just too hot for us!
That is brilliant! Thanks for the great tip.
What a great idea! Thanks for the tip. :)
