Introduction
Are you fed up with boring, uninteresting walls in your home? Are you looking to add some color and style to your home without spending a fortune? This DIY Color-Blocked Bulletin Board project is a great option! It will add personality and storage to your space, as well as a way to recycle an old bulletin board. Let’s get started and see how to create your own bulletin board.
Materials Required
Let’s start by gathering some supplies before we get started. These are the items you will need:
- An old bulletin board
- Paint in your desired colors
- Paintbrushes
- Frog tape, painter’s tape
- Measure tape
- Pencil
- Command strips or picture hangers
Step 1: Clean the board and prepare it
First, clean and prepare the bulletin board. To remove dirt and dust, wipe the board with a damp cloth. Use a mild cleaning solution if you have stubborn stains. Let the board dry completely before you proceed.
Step 2: Plan Your Design
Next, plan out your design. Mark your sections using a measuring tape and a pencil. To create clean lines, use frog tape or painter’s tape. You can be creative with your design!
Step 3: Paint
Now it’s time for you to paint! Each color should be applied in its own section. Be careful not to overlap with the neighboring color. For corners and edges, use a smaller paintbrush. Before removing the tape, let the paint dry completely.
Step 4: Mount the Board
Once your board has dried completely, mount it on the wall. Depending on the weight of your board, you can either use command strips or picture hangers. Follow the instructions on the application package.
Step 5: Add Decorations
Now that your bulletin board has been mounted, it’s time for some decorations! Push pins and clips can be used to attach photos, notes or reminders. You can be creative and personalize it to suit your style.
Tips:
For a professional look, make sure you use high-quality paint.
Conclusion
You can easily create a unique, colorful bulletin board that will fit in any room with just a few steps. It not only adds style and storage but it also allows you to reuse an old bulletinboard. Have fun and be creative with your design!
