A few weeks ago, as part of my office revamp with Makr, I made a nailhead trim pin board. It was super easy to throw together, looks so clean and simple, and gives me lots of room for pinning up visual inspiration.

I originally planned to buy a big piece of wood and cover it using a thin roll of cork board, but when I was at Home Depot, the guy helping me suggested Hushboard, which is used as housing insulation, but is similar in feel to cork. It was much cheaper than my original idea, and it turned out perfectly!

Here’s what I did.

Materials: 

  • square of hushboard (mine was 40″x40″)
  • 1 1/4 yards of gray cotton or linen 
  • 3 containers of nail head tacks
  • picture hangers
  • staple gun
  • hammer
  • measuring tape
1. Lay your fabric flat on your hushboard.  Fold over the back and staple in place, pulling tight. [tip: start with opposite corners, pulling tight, and then move to the other sides].
2. Once the fabric is secured, it’s time to put in the tacks. Lay your measuring tape flat on your board, using it as a spacing guide, then hammer the tacks in place [make sure you’re on a surface that’s safe to hammer on!]
3. Add picture hangers on the back and hang up on the wall!
