I am what you might call a "List Lady." Small tasks and big tasks, packing or shopping I have a list with me wherever I go. I just love the feeling of taking a pen to the paper, making a list and then the feeling when you can make a line through and mark it complete. Come on, you have to agree, there is truly nothing like it! Therefore the craft of the day is a DIY canvas note-board. With all of my many lists I needed a place to keep them, so I got out my craft bins and got to work. I happened to have a lot of these supplies within my craft closet, but feel free to modify based on the supplies you have on hand. Have fun and take a look...
"Canvas"
I started with a plain canvas that I had
on hand. The size and type you use will depend on whether you are going
to hang your note-board or not and where you would like to have it located.
(This note-board may also be used as a photo-board if you would like, an example will be shown later)
"Fabric"
I chose two fabrics, one to use to cover the board and the second to be used as a fabric flower decoration.

"Supplies"
There it all is...my craft bin explosion. For supplies I used a
canvas, fabric, floral wire (leftover from my best friends wedding
bouquets), mod podge and a hot glue gun. For another option you may use scrapbook paper and wooden clothespins rather than fabric
and floral wire.
"The Fabric Wrap"
This can be done two different ways depending on the type of canvas you are using. I used a flat canvas, so I applied a thin layer of mod podge and stretched the fabric around the edges. In order to keep the edges secure I used hot glue to hold them in place. Now, if you are using a thicker canvas you can simply stretch the fabric around and staple the backside.

If you only have scrapbook paper lying around, no problem. Use either superglue or mod podge to secure the paper and wrap it around the edges.
"Securing Floral Wire"
With the floral wire I simply wrapped it around the edge of the canvas and hot glued it to the back side.

"The Finished Products"
Fabric Design:
I created a small fabric flower for a little added detail and the lists slide in and out of from underneath of wire.
Paper Design:

I added a little lace for some extra cuteness and the wooden clothespins help to simply clip the notes on and off.
I hope you like! Have a super crafty day!
