This week I was in Turner and Lane and discovered an idea that was new - at least to me. It was one of those "why didn't I think of that" moments. The idea was in T&L's children's room but the idea, IMHO, could be adapted in other ways. A "My Kitchen" version could be natty and cute.
These boards come in two sizes. These are the large size and there is a smaller one. The "boards" are painters' ready stretched canvases. They could be painted over in a range of pastel colours to suit and still be as sweet. Across the top are narrow gros-grain ribbons and some light two-ply string to which is attached those little clothes pegs usually used for hanging cards.
The bottom left has little nic-nax like covered buttons glued on. Clearly, the choice is the decorator's. Bottom right has the names. Now, my only query is how does one cut out fabric letters sharp and neat? Will someone please tell me how? Because I think if I am to replicate these cute items, this is the one place where my efforts would fall down.
