Tool Time Tuesday...Ceiling Tile Memo Board

Hi everyone! Happy Tool Time. If you missed last week's memo board system using wood, peg board, cork etc, you can click HERE to see that.

If you want to make an even easier memo board, then today is your day!!

See it in behind my computer? Took 3 minutes!!

This is what it's made from...a ceiling tile. It's 2 feet by 2 feet in size.

Ceiling tiles have a great feature where tacks can be pushed in easily!

The one I purchased is an Armstrong ceiling tile ( I have no affiliation with them)

Here is a quote from their site on what the ceiling tiles are made from...

What are Armstrong ceilings made of?
Armstrong mineral board ceilings are made of mineral fiber and can include up to 82% recycled content. Armstrong also offers high performance engineered resin, rigid PVC, and durable laminate plank ceilings made from wood fiber byproducts.

You can purchase one or a bunch!! $3.87 each...cheap, cheap

You can paint them too.

I started to paint within the lines to be detailed with this design, but wow did it look like a 2 year old painted it. Lol

So I painted the whole thing...quick and easy!

I added a ribbon to hang it, but you can just add picture hooks on the back if you don't want the ribbon.

Great for design inspiration, family organizing (one board for each family member), appointments, photos etc

The next thing I tried was to cover it with burlap...you can use any fabric though.

I used a staple gun...

Took 3 minutes to do this!!

I think I needed to iron this more lol

but little notes and pictures covered the wrinkles anyway.

I just placed it behind the computer for quick reference, but I think I need more ceiling tiles though, to make another collage type memo board system.

More pictures to come when I put the wall together!!

I know where you're going now...to the hardware store, right??

Have a great day,
~Karen~
