vintage inspired message board … ♥

Happy Monday!
if you’re stopping over from FPTFY …
♥ WELCOME ♥
so glad you’re here!
and thank you to the lovely Keren
for making this vintage mason jar image so stinkin’ cute!
   … her beautiful graphics can be the starting point for so many project ideas
i want to share this one with you today!

This is a super simple project that requires just a little prep work,
and can be done with any image and with any size frame.

I used some white muslin {any fabric will do} 
white fleece
22 gauge wire {with the jewelry making supplies at any craft store}
iron on transfer sheets ~ I used these
staple gun or flat thumbtacks {not pictured}
and of course a frame  { i found mine at Goodwill
and spray painted it white ahead of time }

After following the directions on the back of the transfer sheet package,
(make sure you print your image in reverse!)
I cut the image out, very close to the edge before ironing it on to my fabric.

After it cools, peel the paper off of the image … so pretty!
I cut 2 pieces of fleece the same size as the backing that came with my frame and used it as a insert between the cardboard and the image (just to give it a bit of puffiness)…

… fit the image around the backing & the fleece and put it back into your frame.
Wind strips of wire around the front of the frame, and attach to the back 
using a staple gun or flat thumbtacks.

Here is mine right next to my kitchen sink …
I spend a lot of time here! {as most of us do!}
It’s a place where I put notes I want to remember 
or things i want to focus on during my day ♥


a few more favorites of mine from her etsy shop! 

tons of ideas are floatin’ around in my head!
the bicycle would be super cute on a library or market canvas tote 
maybe an apron or tea party tablecloth for a little girl’s Christmas gift??!
baby onesies or blankets with the little birdie
the sewing machine is going to be incorporated onto my machine cover …
if i ever get around to making it 🙂

thank you for all the wonderful images Keren!
much love ♥
sweet parties here… ♥

  1. Love your memo board, Jaime! The mason jar image is so cute and I love the others you show, too. Great idea to use the wire and clothes pins to hold notes and such.
