Cheap and Easy Design Wall
We recently moved and my sewing studio is much bigger. I saw a design wall on the internet somewhere and decided to give it a try. I put up a thread caused Forced Move.
It is made with insulation board available a places like Home Depot. The sheets are 4 x 8 and would not fit in my car. I bought 2 and had the guy cut them in half. The were $8.00 a piece.
I covered them with the cheapest cotton batting that I owned. I should have used the silver side and the writing would not have shown thru. I was not taking it off as I attached them with duct tape. I mounted them on the wall with the Command Picture hanging strips.
The result in a fabulous design wall for me.

I used insulation board too, but I didn't have any empty wall space in my quilting room, so the design wall wound up in the one-car garage. The house has two separate garages, the other for two cars, so I'm pretending this one is my design room, not a garage.

I have one of these that I inherited from my sister-in-law. She covered it with white flannel and the board is at leat 20 years old and likely older. I do not know when she purchased the insulation sheet. But it is perfect, light weight, and portable, because of the size of my room, I have not attached it to the wall. I use a clothes brush every now and again to clean off those pesky little threads and it is as good as new. I see years and years of use ahead.
