Burlap Bulletin Board

So you know I have a new desk area and I have been wanting one of those fabulous burlap bulletin boards from Pottery Barn.  I have been looking at their site and their catalog but darn the luck no 80% off sale yet!  I decided to make one from an old frame my daughter used in her college apartment (hope she doesn't want it back for her house) and a bulletin board from Wal-Mart.

So before

I spray painted the frame a dark bronze, matches the handles on my desk area.  Took off the frame from the bulletin board, cut it down to size and then covered it in an off-white burlap.

I then cut strips of the tan burlap and applied them to the bulletin board with upholstery tacks.  I have extra tacks to use as the pins.
I can slide postcards and pictures into the strips and not tack them down.
