Pin board
I've seen a couple of pin boards around recently and have been feeling guilty about the stuff I bought to make one which has been lying around uncompleted for months.
Last weekend I got round to it and today I had the chance to pick up the upholstery tacks to finish it. It's base is a cork board, so it can be used with thumb tacks, or you can just slide your bits and bobs under the ribbons (which are twill tape in this instance).
Both my boys have versions of these in their rooms and they are fab for keeping hold of all that kiddy paper that just cannot be thrown away, but is ruined in seconds if left within reach. I'll take this to the craft fair and see if any commissions come out of it.

I love the material you used. Did you put fleece wadding underneath or is it just the corkboard underneath?

We're getting an Ikea near us at the end of the month, and I've already been eying up the vegetable print fabric similar to your leaf print, so I'll use some out of the stash until then.
Oh blogger was being wierd last night, but I think I'm logged in properly now. :)
I was the "Sarah" who commented before but Blogger didn't seem to register anything that I typed in to say as much. Blasted, Blogger!
