Instructions:

  1. First, decide how you want to hang your finished picture board. Drill a hole in the back with an angle slightly up if you just want it to hang flat against the wall.
  2. Paint the edges of your board with a paint color of your choice. Let dry for a few minutes.

  4. Wrap sandpaper around something square, I used a little note book. Lightly sand the edges making sure not to sand the paint off.

  8. Hang on wall. It is really cute to make 9 coordiating boards and hand them in a square with about a 3 inch space between them all. It would also be great to hand 3 of these above a baby’s crib. so many options!!
