Any housewife knows how important the proper organization of homework is. But sometimes there are so many things that you can easily forget about an important call, a necessary purchase or payment. A few kind words written for a loved one are sometimes more important than all purchases. Here are just pieces of paper hastily torn from notebooks and notebooks and pressed with a pen for fidelity, look messy. On them, even the warmest word can cool in an instant. A wallboard for notes would solve these problems. You can buy a finished one. But it’s better to make a note board with your own hands. So that she is guaranteed to keep the warmth of every word and fits perfectly into the interior.

What are note boards?

First you need to choose a place for her. Typically, these boards are hung in the hallway, so that notes are striking to all coming and going. Next, determine how you will attach the notes to the board. Board can be:

• magnetic;
• cork;
• slate;
• French (soft, with ribbons).

Inspect your interior carefully. This will help to make a choice. For example, scraps of fabric remaining from sewing curtains can go on upholstery of a soft French board. If you already have furniture or cork accessories, a cork board will be a good addition.

And sometimes I want to feel like a first-grader again and draw chalk on the board!

Then you should determine the set of necessary materials and tools. Provide a place to store clean sheets of paper, pens, magnets or crayons in advance. It can be a box or pocket fastened to the board.

Magnetic board

We will need a special magnetic primer, brush, fasteners, magnets.

The basis for the board can be any photo frame bought in a store or made independently. Also, the base can be cut from plywood, fiberboard sheet of the desired size or any other suitable material. Sand the edges thoroughly. The finished base must be covered with soil. Magnetic soil is thick and is applied in a thick layer, since it contains many small metal particles.

The soil dries quickly, so do not leave the container with it permanently open. It is advisable to apply the soil in several layers, so its properties will manifest themselves more strongly. After the last layer has dried, you can already try to attach magnets to the board. If they hold well, the work in the first stage is finished. It remains to screw the pocket for extra magnets, paint the whole board with the pocket paint with decorative paint and hang the board on the wall with fasteners.

Instead of magnetic paint, you can use the metal sheet available in the house. Paint it with enamel or tighten with a thin cloth.

Cork board for notes

Corks from bottles of wine or champagne can always be used in the household. Skillful hands make comfortable handles that do not heat up, lightweight and beautiful coasters for hot things, massage mats.

We will try to make a board out of them. It should be borne in mind that all papers will be pinned with clerical pins to the board from the cork, that is, leave punctures on them.

We will need traffic jams in large quantities, a sheet of plywood or hardboard, slats for the frame, PVA glue, a knife.If there are not enough traffic jams, they can be replaced with a finished cork sheet, and the frame with the substrate can be replaced with a strong cardboard box with low sides.

The principle of manufacturing a cork board is not much different from magnetic. Instead of applying soil to the finished base, you need to glue the plugs. Pre-arrange them on a sheet without glue in a beautiful order, alternating vertical with horizontal, in a circle, ornament, if necessary, cutting with a knife. Then glue with PVA glue. After the glue has dried, the cork or part of it can be painted with acrylic paints, choosing colors for the interior, fasten the fasteners and determine the board in a permanent place.

Slate

Such a board is the most convenient way to get rid of a lot of pieces of paper. In addition to the frame, we need only a special paint for slate boards and a brush. At the bottom of the frame, it is advisable to screw a pencil case or box for crayons along the entire length. Small particles of chalk will fall into it when drawing.

French board

For it, we will need a sheet of plywood, a flap of batting or synthetic winterizer, fabric for upholstery, ribbons (braid), buttons.

Choose the fabric and accessories suitable for your interior. Plywood sheet with batting, then cloth. Secure on the back with glue or a furniture stapler. Next, diagonally at regular intervals, stretch the braid. Sew buttons at the intersections. Sew a leaf pocket from the same fabric. It remains only to strengthen the board on the wall. Notes on such a board can be fastened with pins or just put it in the braid.

You can combine several different options on one board. For example, the upper half is made of cork, and the lower half is slate.

In addition to these options, there are many more ideas for designing a do-it-yourself recording board. The main thing is that it fits into your interior and helps organize the work.
