Here is mine. The frame is a little different, I used grapevine wrapped wire instead of dowels (although I am going to work on one with the dowels too). I free-handed the postage marks, but you could print some off and put it behind the burlap and hold it up to a window to trace it. I used the same curtain clips I used on my Christmas stockings.
Another view:
PS--My bulletin board cost about $7--$1 for the bulletin board, $2 for the frame, $1.50 worth of burlap, $2 for curtain clips.

Hi! I'm stopping over form Homebody.
ReplyDeleteYour BB looks awesome! I actually like the wire (and cliprings! So cool!) better than PB's dowel. Great job!
This was on my short list of knock-off possibilities. Love how yours turned out...I can't believe you free-handed the postage mark! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up :)
I like the wire better than the dowel rods! Love this!
ReplyDeleteLove this... fabulous job... liking your version much better and I certainly am liking your price much better. Great job.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!! This was on my list until I decided to redo my ladder and make it into a bulletin board. I'm posting that tomorrow. I prefer yours to the PB one. Excellent!

ReplyDeleteCheers~

Hi, Becky! Just wanted to let you know that I was totally inspired by your project and made my own version. I hope you don't mind- I linked to your project in my post.

I'm sorry, but $199? Are they nuts? Yours is much better in my opinion. I love how you distressed the frame black and used curtain hooks. Fabulous! Shame on them! And you go girl!!
ReplyDeleteKim
I like your frame better, and the curtain hooks, too!
