DIY String Bulletin Board

This fun DIY project has been Pinterest inspired! I am sure if you are on Pinterest (which if you are not, you totally should be, because I love and worship Pinterest) you have encountered some variation of this DIY. There are many ways to do it, and there are also a lot of cool "wall hang things" you can purchase at different stores like these here, but come on. . . who has the money to go buy expensive wall things? No one.

This wall decoration is really rustic and it was fun and SUPER easy to make. Here is what you are going to need!

Materials

thumbtacks
twine or any kind of string
cute paper clips of your choice
ruler
pictures to hang up

Instructions
1. First, make sure to cut out all your strings the same length. I chose to do four rows. 

2. Make a knot on each end, so that when you push the thumbtack through it stays. Pin the string on your wall.



3. Repeat for the following string. Make sure to measure with a ruler how far apart you want your strings to be from each other. That way your wall doesn't look all asymmetrical. Remember to leave enough space for the size of your pictures and notes!


4. Add some more decoration on top or at the bottom if you want. I added a "CAFE" sign on top of my bulletin board. I bought this little plaque at the dollar store for $2.00 on clearance! Who says you can't find awesome home decor at the dollar store?



I hope you guys enjoy this little DIY project and I hope it is inspires you to spruce up your living headquarters in some way. I am still adding things to mine, but I definitely want it to be a type of inspiration board with cool quotes and all things pretty! :) Let's get to working!

Peace out,
Maria :)
