Chipboard Wall Hanging Tutorial & Challenge #1

Welcome to my Chipboard Wall Hanging Tutorial.


You’ll need to gather up the following supplies:

Chipboard
3 Patterned Papers (I used Bella Blvd-Scrapdango Sugar Kit)
Cutting System
Coordinating cardstock
crop-a-dile or hole punch setter
Eyelets
Embellishments
Ribbon

1. Cut the chipboard into 3 squares measuring 6X6 inches. Cut the coordinating cardstock the same.

2. Adhere the cardstock to the chipboard and ink and/or sand the edges.



3. Measure in 1 ½ inches in from the edges of two of the squares and ½ from the top or bottom edge. Mark it with a pencil and poke your holes. Add your eyelets.


4. Cut out the patterned paper and adhere them onto your squares.
5. Cut four 4 inch strips of ribbon and pull through the eyelets. Adjust the length to your liking and adhere or knot the ribbon on the back.

6. Cut a 6 inch ribbon for the very top holes. Pull through and either adhere or knot this as well.



7. Now your Chipboard Wall Hanging is ready to embellish. You can add your photos now or wait for the right ones. Hope you enjoy making these as much as I do!

I also did one for The Scrapping Bug using MME Papers:








***Note: If you do not have chipboard at home you can improvise by using cardboard. I have been know to cut up some cereal or cracker boxes before!!
