Bow Board

I'm almost done with Tildy's room.  One of the finishing touches was a bow board.  While my sister was in town we combined forces and each made on for our little girls.  They are pretty easy.  Here are the instructions:

Materials

• Canvas - you can find them in many sizes at your local craft store
• Fabric and quilt batting in the size needed to cover the front, sides and a couple of inches of the back of your canvas
• 505 Spray
• Staple gun
• Thumb tacks (that will fit flush once pushed into the board)
• Ribbon (number and length depends on board and ribbon size)
• Picture hanger

Instructions

• Measure your canvas, adding the sides and enough of the back to be able to staple the fabric
• Cut your fabric and batting to that measurement
• Spray the back of your fabric with 505
• Carefully place your batting on the sprayed side of the fabric
• Spray the front of your canvas
• Center the canvas onto your batting (with fabric on the opposite side)
• Pull fabric to the back of the canvas and staple to secure, using your staple gun
• Determine placement and order of your ribbons
• Attach with thumb tacks to the back of the board
• Secure your picture hanger to the back of the canvas
