So our sheet set had been wearing out and so I bought some new ones and needed something to do with all of the fabric from the old ones. The pillowcases were in the best conditions and I had two pieces of plywood (exactly the same size) lying around so I thought what better to do with it than make some ribbon boards to decorate up our room a bit. Since it's the only part of the house that isn't really decorated I need to find something so it could feel "home-y" like the rest of the house.
Materials used:
plywood
2 queen size pillowcases
batting
ribbon
tacks
staple-gun
Cut pillowcases along seams so that you end up with one piece of rectangular fabric. Cut batting to cover plywood. I double layered my batting to have a little bit more cushion look to them. Staple fabric and batting around plywood. Arrange ribbon how you would like it and staple. Hammer tacks where the ribbons cross. And voila! A cheap way to add some decor to our bedroom.
