Tips on Making a Funky Message Board For Your Bedroom

Nowadays, bedrooms are not mere spaces for sleep; but they also reflect the personality of its owner. If you are looking for a quick bedroom makeover that says a lot about you, why not try creating a funky message board? A message board is a great project to do because it is functional yet easy to make.

First you would need a frame and a piece of hardboard, which can be purchased from your local hardware store. A 2.5 by 4 frame would do. Make sure that the latter fits snugly into the frame. Second, think of the type of message board you want to create. If you want to turn it into a standard chalkboard, then you should apply three solid coats of blackboard paint to the hardwood surface. Allow it to dry completely before attaching your chalkboard to the frame. Another option would be to purchase a roll of cork and then glue it to the hardboard. However, you could always divide your board into 2 neat sections so you can take advantage of both options. A slightly bigger frame and hardboard would be ideal. Third, start decorating your message board. This is the fun part because you get to design using your own styling preferences. You can paint a little picture on the borders if you want. You can even turn it into a memorabilia by hanging a decoupage of pictures taken during family vacations.

In addition, you can get really creative by trimming your message board with beads or ribbons. Embellish it with beaded cork board pins. You can easily get one from a website that sells funky custom jewellery. You now have a great place for putting notes and reminders that the whole family could use.
