Fabric Tack Board

By Missy Cahoon

This layout is incredibly easy, and the ending results are sensational.  The criss-cross geometric pattern serves as a multi-purpose design. 

Supplies

• White 12X12 card stock (2 sheets)
• Vanilla card stock (scraps)
• Vanilla Ribbon (Wal-Mart)
• Label Maker
• Wooden Footballs (Michael’s)
• Sports Buttons (Michael’s)
• Football Fabric (Michael’s)
• Aileen’s Tacky Glue
• 12” paper cutter (Fiskars)

Instructions:

1. Cover 1 sheet of 12X12 cardstock with the football fabric leaving a 1” border around all sides. Fold the fabric over the edges and glue with tacky glue to the back side of the cardstock.
    

2. Wrap 3 pieces of ribbon diagonally across the cardstock covered with fabric and glue ends to the back. Wrap 3 more pieces of ribbon going the opposite direction and glue the ends to the back.
    

3. Glue buttons at intersecting points on the ribbon and slide pictures under the ribbon. I glued the pictures down with glue as well.
    

4. Type title and date with label maker and mat with scraps of vanilla cardstock. Attach with tacky glue.
    

5. Glue a piece of 12X12 card stock to the back of layout using tacky glue.
