It was kind of a on-the-spur-of-the-moment thing. I really just wanted a memo board.
Googled DIY memo boards. Found out about french memo boards (and a lot of pretty creations!). Remembered that I have a small, hard cork board (27x22cm) which I never found a use for; it was too hard for thumb-tacks. I think I had it from when we were still at our previous home. French memo boards appealed to me instantly, because I won't have to use thumb-tacks.
I figured I might want a bigger one later, but, no harm making one now as a try-out! And so, ta-da! Was momentarily hindered by the fact that I don't have a staple gun; turns out my usual big stapler worked quite well. So, with my other stash of art-n-craft materials, that's what I got. Good enough for now.
It's not fantastic, but I can't help feeling really satisfied.

how on earth?! what are french memo boards? and how do things stick to it?
Haha, I haven't gotten as far yet to find out why french memo boards are 'french'! And notes or cards etc are held in place, under the 'strings'. In my case, the thin gold ribbons.
