So I decided to make my girls a backpack wall.
I had a little sign that had hooks on there before but decided I didn't like it so much.
And after I came across this post....
i fell in LOVE!
So I made it! My wall is a lot smaller than the other blog
and I only have two kids... so I modified.
and I only have two kids... so I modified.
This is what my wall looked like before...
I measured out how high I wanted it to be and then
how wide I wanted it to be.
It was a little tricky because our corners are bull-nosed so I just stopped it when it started to curve.
I bought the cheapest pine I could find at Home Depot. They're 1 x 4's for the surround, which are actually 1 x 3.5 inches! And then 1 x 2's for the inside, which are actually 1 x 1.5 inches! BEWARE!!
I got all the boards up and then caulked the life out of it!
I was going to paint it white but I thought with the baseboards and the basement door being right next to it, it may look kinda funny since those are painted a cream color. So I went with the Cream Paint I already had! I bought some chalkboard paint, hooks and VOILA... the backpack wall was done!
My Girls were at School... So I just used some shopping bags.
It's Awesome!
Now I just need to blow up this Beautiful Picture of them and put it up!
