I feel like I'm about eight years late making one of these French Ribbon Memo Boards. Not sure why it didn't occur to be earlier that one of these would be a good addition to the studio. But one day I was looking at the wall space between my longest upper cabinets (see below) and thought of it.
Ah well, better late than never.
A quick search for instructions and I was off to pick up the necessary painters canvas and fabric. As if I didn't have any to choose from here...right? :) I used a manual stapler to attach the fabric and batting to the wooden frame of the canvas all the way around.
Laid out my grey ribbon in one direction. I didn't measure. I eyeballed it, committed to my estimation and stapled it down. I should have measured. Anywho....
Eyeballed the other ribbon direction and stapled.
Visited the button dish and picked out some colorful buttons to add to the ribbon intersections. I glued these down first then hand-sewed some decorative stitches around them.
The size canvas I picked out was perfect to fill the wall space. And now I am somewhat more current in the memo board department. Whew!
