I'm giving them as gifts to my 2 daughters. One I did in a black and white toile and I'm still looking for some nice velvet ribbon.I covered the other cork bulletin board with a nice washed denim and I plan to use a wool-type multi-colored ribbon (think Hippy) These instructions help alot. I'm using tacks as well -shiny black with the velvet and hammered brass for the denim. My sister gave me the fabric actually it was an old faded tablecloth-YEAH RECYCLE!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-78511377077428263552008-09-15T15:26:00.000-04:002008-09-15T15:26:00.000-04:00Impressed.

Maybe every other one. That way, if you have a really large photo, you won't have to try to wedge it into a too small spot. I like the visual of the tacks, though.<BR/><BR/>I found a small Eiffel Tower bracelet charm at Claire's. Maybe you can find one somehwere near you, and attach it to the board as well.
