Re-Purposed Bulletin Board with Felt Cover

Covering merino spirals and bursts...

...with two layers of variegated wool roving...


                                   ...then wetting the project out and flipping it over...

                                                    ...to reveal the design.



                                                          Fulling the felt... 

                                                  ...mid-way through felting.



                            The original, fabric-covered bulletin board (from a thrift shop).



                                                           The finished felt.



                                 Stapling the thin, flexible felt to the wooden frame...    

                                 ...(right over the existing foam padding and fabric)...                                      


  ...using a staple gun.


The newly refurbished bulletin board.


        One of my daughters is moving to her first, post-university apartment...

            ...and she had a thrifted bulletin board that she wanted to update.

                          At first, we considered covering it with fabric...

                        ...but in the end, decided to customize it with felt!

                                    Next time: more new apartment decor.
