There are SO many things we all love from places like Pottery Barn, Anthropologie, and Ballard Designs! However, we usually don’t love the price tag! I saw this Burlap Message Board at Ballard Designs… Looks nice, right? But, for the size I’d like, the price tag is $89!!!! Seriously, for a simple bulletin board?!?! NO WAY! We knew we could make something very similar with my Elmer’s supplies & a few other things! So, we did! 🙂 Supplies: 1 White Foam Core Board 1 Craft Bond Glue Stick 1 X-ACTO Craft Knife 1/2 Yard of Burlap (or similar fabric) 2 25 piece packages of Bronze Furniture Nails (found at Lowe’s) Hot glue Additional foam core or card board strips. Directions: Start by laying your board on the fabric. Cut if necessary. Use the glue stick to glue the fabric on the back of the board. Then comes the only remotely difficult part–placing all the furniture nails in so that they line up fairly well and are at least somewhat evenly spaced! 🙂The only problem with the nails though is that they stick out the back quite a bit. So I had to figure out a solution. I ended up using an X-ACTO knife to just some thin strip of foam core (from old project scraps). I put a large bead of hot glue on the tip of each nail. Then, stuck the foam core strips on. This solved the problem of sharp nails sticking out the back. In hindsight (that I sadly didn’t think of until typing this out), it might have been best to just glue to 20 X 30 sheets of foam core together and wrap the burlap around them together. This would have almost entirely solved the issue (and only upped the project cost by a couple of dollars). Either way, the result is great! Functional, similar in appearance and WAY cheaper than the Ballard version! Approximate Cost Breakdown Foam Board: $2.50 each Fabric/Burlap: $3.00/yard–you only need about 1/2 a yard! X-Acto Knife: $5 Glue Stick: $2 each Bronze Furniture nails: $2 Hot glue & other craft supplies: Had on hand (FREE!) Total cost:  Approximately $15 (o
