Who has innovative, creative ideas for making a notice board for my newly organised kitchen.

[nevergoogle]

Spring cleaning chez nevergoogle.

i now have a big wall which i intend to turn into our super organised area.

in my mind it'll work like tom cruise's control panel in that film that i can't remember the name of.

so, what's good.

alternatively just let me know the name of the film.

TIA

i realise it's saturday night and not the most exciting thread.

but go on...who's with me?

bastards.

Minority Report?

thanks smallerclanger, you are officially my favourite mumsnetter.
the rest are all twats.

Oooh! (I also like notice-boards)

glue together corks from wine bottles giving you the added bonus of collecting said corks
paint them if colour needed
place in 2nd hand frame from charity shop
da naa!

to get you started

i want a biiiiiiiiig notice board.
i have nice fabric and can sew if required to cover something.
need cheap ideas for what to cover.

A friend moved into new house and inherited a kitchen wall painted with a large flower-shape & pegs glued around the petals for clipping on notes/cards etc. Looks pretty good.

cool, thanks for the ideas. i'm going to ponder tomorrow.

I just had some shelves built and the carpenter took a massive bit of MDF offcut and stuck thick beading around it to make a frame.

I've bought some magnetic blackboard paint to paint it with.

It was essentially free, apart from the £700 shelves .

I don't like those fabric boards with ribbons. All looks a bit Anthea Turner circa Blue Peter.

I like the cork board thing but all our wine these days seems to have plastic corks or screw top.

Magnetic paint? I've never heard of that but am intrigued. Tell me more please.

You can also get ordinary magnetic paint which inthink is dark grey but you can paint over it with emulsion so it will still work. You could paint a whole wall should you feel the need.

Sorry here

That's fantastic! Thanks for the link.

I've learned something new again. :)

Cut a nice shape out of plywood or softwood with a jig saw, sand the edges, cover with quilting fabric. Then cover with your fabric of choice and use ribbons to divide it in sections. You could do it in the shape of a big daisy or the British Flag or a big heart or a cockerel, whatever you fancy really. Find a template or draw the shape you want on paper, transfer to the wood, carefully cut it (does not have to be extremely precise as it gets covered with a thick layer of fabric anyway and then upholster it. Lovely and unique. If you don't have a jigsaw look in yellow pages there will be several places where you can rent tools for the day. Good luck.

sorry to be negative but have you actually tried the magnetic paint, cos we have some blackboard magnetic paint and no matter how many coats we put on nothing was going to stick! would love to find some that worked!

i like your idea dikkertjedap. will see what i can do.
