Woop Woop SUPRISE!

Summer break started! (well like a week ago e u e, but I was lazy  ♥ ) I'm going to China on July 4th so if Blogger works then I'll be blogging from China  ♥ :DD Going to be gone for 2 months :(. But I can't wait to try yummy and exotic food o u o :(:) (lol x3) Today's weather is nice, it's sunny and all that, a plant started growing in my withered plant filled bottle so I cleaned it out and put it back into the cleaner bottle! :D (too lazy to take pictures though) Today I also had time to experiment with a craft I've been wanting to try. So here's a tutorial! :D

How to make a budget under $5 bulletin board

Items needed:

• Foam board
• scissors
• tape (clear duct tape)
• wrapping paper
• String (any kind as long as it's durable)

What makes this so cheap? You can get the foam board, clear duct tape and wrapping paper at the 99 cents store :D! Or you can reuse last year's Christmas wrapping paper. I'm pretty sure most of you have scissors and string at home :DD

Steps:

Step 1: Get the foam board and draw a line in a middle (you can do this with a marker gently, or gently press the scissor into the foam board to make imprints)

Step 2: Stab many times along the line :D (this will make it easier to cut and also makes your stress relieved! (lol) (jk) ♥ )

Step 3: Cut on the line, it should be easier since you stabbed through the stiff foam

Step 4: Place the 2 pieces on top of each other and tape the edges together ( basically we're enforcing it to make it stronger and so that thumbtacks won't poke through and hurt anyone, so like this: 1 big board= cut in half ( 2 pieces)= tape into 1 piece=stronger) (sorry if I'm confusing you o-o;)

Step 5: Turn it on the back side (whatever side looks worse) and you can add the string this will be like a hanger so cut a long piece of string fold in half and tape it so it forms like an incomplete triangle? ( I also used stapler to make sure it stays on) You can also attach this after the wrapping paper if you feel like it will be troublesome

Step 6: cut out a huge piece of wrapping paper (like two of your boards on top of each other) and put the good side facing down. (wrapping the board is optional, you can leave it like a blank surface, but I think wrapping paper makes it look better) Wrap, be sure to cover the edges, but you don't have to cover the whole back area, after you finish wrapping be sure to tape down any paper sticking out

Step 7: You're done! , you can choose to not have the string and not hang it, hang it by using a nail or thumbtack :D Have fun organizing your reminders and papers on this cheap bulletin board

* The good thing about having two layers of foam board is that the thumbtacks won't poke through so your fingers won't get pricked o u o *

~ When I made this I accidently put the wrapping paper upside down xD.. so now my bears are hanging upside down ; ~ ;, at least they'll be good at handstands? xD~

( I thought of this myself so I didn't steal any ideas or anything o-o; I just never saw this so though I would post this o u o)

:D Thanks for reading, I'll upload pictures when I'm not lazy = v =

~Don't say everday is the same, it is only the same because you're not changing the way the days are, so try something new!~

I'll miss you gals/guys when I go to china if I can't blog ;~;
