DIY- how to turn a plain canvas into something fun & useful!

This is my first DIY eek! (:

 

So, to make this
You'll need this

I used an old pair of curtains that I never used, I loveee bright 

stripes at the moment it reminds me of candy sweets. (: 

Oh and make sure they're fabric scissors! It's much easier.

I've found that measuring a width of 6cm around your canvas works best,

but it might be different for you, so just check!

It's optional to put cork board between your fabric and canvas, 

if your using it as a pin board, or want to strengthen it.. I added it after to the back,
to strengthen and hid the untidy bits (:

 I also ran out of staples! so I had to improvise with drawing pins.. 

but I think it worked out ok (:

Now your free to decorate however you like! you can add alsorts, from ribbons to sequines and pins!

I chose some string (i couldn't decide so i used both) and added some little pegs and a cute badge, 

get creative and have fun! (:
