There'll be NO Peeping Toms looking through this window...

Hey y'all...my name is Jessica from 

and I absolutely LOVE abode...

LOVE IT!!!

I found this old window frame there a while back...

It was pretty beat up and had no glass....
but I knew I could ROCK it out

Had the Boo~Bear drill some holes at the bottom...

Sanded it down..got all the glue and goop off...

And, of course, gave it a coat of spray paint...

Sanded it a little...

cuz y'all know I have to DISTRESS everything

Now for the fun part...
The memo board

I bought thick, black matting...as you can see I had some extra.

So I traced the window frame on the matting and then cut it with my rotary cutter.

Cut some craft batting to size and stapled it to the matting.

Next up ~ the fabric...

I cut the fabric to size (a little bigger than the board) and then folded it over...I started with a straight edge then the corner (and so on and so on)

To fold the corners, I simply folded the corner in like so....

And then folded it over like so...

And stapled it down...

{YES, that is my RED STAPLER}

The ribbon was next...

I started with an X 

{pinned them down at each corner}

and continued to lay ribbon out 6 inches apart

{pinning each piece down as I went}

After all the ribbon was laid out 

{you guessed it} 

I stapled it

{note that I stapled the ribbon from the front and then from the back}

Then I simply nailed it to the back of the window frame...

{ oh ya...and attached the knobs }

What do y'all think of my 

Old Window Frame turned Memo Board?

I kinda dig it
