Giving you a reason to hang it up.....
Check out this awesome little hang out up spot ...
You know we all could use one of those neat corners,
if anything at least we would never have to search for our key's again because they finally have a place where they belong...
Of course as far as I'm concerned with all of our cool DIY projects there are no rules as far as what colors or theme's you prefer this or any project to be ....
Our general rule of thumb is "whatever floats your boat"
However just to give you some ideas I figured why not list a few really unique fabrics and hooks that I found on Etsy and I think would work really well with this project....

| Toile Fabric Antique Landmarks (Etsy) |

While searching up and down the "Etsy coast"...
I also happened to come across some really cool hooks
that would work perfect with our little project...
So what do you think...
You ready to rock n' roll with this awesome project???
- Three (3) Natural Wood Particle Board (12" x 4' - Lowes/Home Depot)
- Decorative Fabric preferable with a Theme of your choice (1.5 yards)
- Solid Fabric (1/2 yard - preferable matching the background of your other fabric)
- Printable Iron on Fabric sheeting (JoAnn's or Michaels)
- Batting
- Three (3) Decorative Hooks
- Scissors

***
- From your decorative fabric cut out one of your most favorite scene or building
- Take it to your closet Kinko's/Copy shop and ask them to copy the design of the small fabric piece onto the larger printable fabric sheet (8" x 11")
- Now take one of the wooden particle boards and cover it with a thin layer of batting material
- Next take your decorative fabric and place it on top of the board (&batting)
- Fold the fabric neatly over the edges of the board and staple it in the back When pulling the fabric over the edges make sure you keep the design straight and without wrinkles...
- Repeat the same process with the second wooden board...
- Take the third board and cover it the same way as the first two except this time use the solid fabric
- Next take your previously printed iron on fabric sheet and place it close to the bottom center of the board - then take your pre-heated Iron and carefully go over the sheet several times until it completely sticks to the solid fabric
- Finally screw the decorative hooks into the board (center/top)
- Now find a good spot in your house for this awesome creation...
Voila... all done
Happy hanging....
