Making a Diy Photo Display Board Out of Cardboard

This tutorial is all about how I made an upcycled DIY photo display board to display some of those photos instead of leaving them on my phone, where I rarely see them!

Materials Needed – DIY Photo Display Board

Cut Your Cardboard & Fabric To Size

Cut Your Cardboard & Fabric To Size

You could cut down a larger box to the size you want and/or tape pieces together to get the shape and thickness you are looking for.

Iron your Fabric

Iron your Fabric

I laid my fabric pattern side down on top of an old towel and ironed it on the floor, as it was a fairly large piece.

Glue Fabric to Cardboard Backing

Glue Fabric to Cardboard Backing

I opted for spray adhesive to attach my fabric to my cardboard backing to make my DIY photo display board. Another option might be strong double-sided tape.

The next step is to add your twine. Rather than measure it, I just tied it around where I wanted it and cut the ends off after I had secured it with a double knot.
