$5 Christmas Gift

For our Christmas gift exchange with all my siblings and nieces and nephews we decided to do a $5 homemade gift. For mine I got my niece Lia who is almost 12. I decided I wanted to make her a memo board for her room so she could hang pictures or whatever she wanted. Sounded easy enough..... then I decided to make it into different mediums and it turned into a whole other beast. This is how it turned out though.


I got the cork tiles from Hobby Lobby, and the little notebook and notepad from the Target $1 section. The rest came from supplies around the house. So it includes the cork section, magnet board section and ribbon board section. Just when I thought I was done with it my mom would come out with something else I should add like the little rickrack piece around the edge, that landed me a few burns from the glue gun.

I like it. It looks like you spend more than $5 on it and I think that it looks better than the boards that you can buy at the stores.
