Now choose fabric in the color and pattern of your choice. I bought one single bed sheet in the colour I was after. You could also visit a fabric store for more options.

Your fabric should be larger then your bulletin board. To get the proper fit lay your board on your fabric and cut all the way around leaving about a two inch space on all sides.

Lay fabric on a flat surface and place the board face down on it. Glue the extra fabric to the back of the board one side at a time. Do one side then the opposite so you can pull the fabric taught.

Flip your board & place your thumbtacks all the way along the edge of the now fabric covered frame. I got my tacks from the dollar store and bought 6 packs (Large board) and had one left over for use.
