NEVER have I received so many inquiries about how to make the pin boards in my home office. I made these myself when I couldn’t find boards that met my desired aesthetic and with so much interest, I decided to create a tutorial of the process (see video below).
The goal here was to create three rectilinear boards to create visual interest on the wall—one massive board would have been far too overbearing and solid. While I wanted to make a statement with the vertical tryptic, I also wanted the boards to be monochromatic so that they recede into the wall but not too tonal and boring. The texture of the burlap was essential here and offered a tactile effect!
Here is what you need for this simple and inexpensive DIY:
- Homasote board from Home Depot or Lowes—these are super easy to cut into your desired shape
- Standard burlap by the yard
- A staple gun
- A paint roller with roller cover
- Your desired paint color
- Brass washer and brass screws
- A screw gun
- A level
