So this past weekend, I found myself in an antique store and I fell in love with two shabby frames which I quickly grabbed. I purchased them and wondered what I would end up using them for. Then it hit me -- I would make my own French bulletin boards!
So I got my crafty on and went to AC Moore where I purchased: white foam board, fabric, ribbon, paper flowers and brads.
Here's what I did:
I cut the foam board to size. Covered the foam board with fabric and secured in the back. Wrapped ribbon around fabric-covered foam board and secured in the back. Punctured board with tip of scissors and placed a brad at each cross section. Added paper flowers for a pop of color.
It was simple and quick and I love the results!
This entire project cost less than $50 and now I have one-of-a-kind, antique-framed French bulletin boards!
Let me know what you think!

wow- so creative! Good job, I would buy those.
Hi Jennifer,
They are so wonderful! I know about these called: "pele-mele" from a French lady I met once in Budapest, Hungary (that is where I live) and she makes them as well. They are unique and wonderful, just like the ones you have made! Very creative! Keep it up! Best wishes, Adrienne
