To create the backing of the pin board, use an old frame that isn’t currently hanging on a wall in your home. Remove any glass that may be at the front of the frame, as well as any pictures that might be placed inside the frame. Using some craft glue, attach the sheet of cardboard to the center of the frame, so that the decorative edge of the frame surrounds the board. Use an Exacto knife or other craft knife to trim off any excess cardboard at the edges.

To jazz up the pin board, use some decorative embellishments. You can glue sequins or small beads to the perimeter of the frame. Or, paint the board or frame with an acrylic craft paint or spray paint to add some color. Make sure to let all glue and paint dry before trying to hang your board up.

Place the pin board in a spot where it is easily accessible. A spot in the kitchen works well, as this is a high traffic area in the home. Or, if you’re using the pin board for an office, hang the board near a computer or a spot where you might answer phone calls. Most of these types of pin boards will need just one or two nails to ensure it is securely hung on the wall.

Once your board is hung, don’t forget to add the necessary pins. Place some colorful or metallic push pins into the board so you have them on hand when necessary. You can add some blank pieces of paper under the pins to encourage others to write in notes as needed. Also, pin up any business cards, brochures or appointment reminders you want to have on hand at a moment’s notice.

If you’re designing this pin board for children, make sure to hang it at a low enough spot that they can reach it. Use colorful stickers to decorate the board in a way that’s appealing to them. This project is ideal for a spot to keep the kid’s homework assignments and doctor’s appointments all in one place. Also, if a babysitter will be watching the youngsters, place emergency phone numbers here as a resource.
