How to make it
Keep fingers clear of the staple gun's nose and point it only at the board.
1Iron the fabric
Press out the creases first. Wrinkles show more once it's stretched.
2Lay it face down
Put the fabric pretty side down and the board on top. Leave 2 in of extra on all sides.
3Staple the sides
Fold one edge over and staple the middle. Do the opposite side next, pulling snug.
4Fold the corners
Tuck corners like wrapping a present. Staple them flat.
5Add the ribbon
Stretch ribbon corner to corner in a diamond pattern. Staple the ends on the back.
6Pin the crossings
Push a thumbtack where ribbons cross. Hang it with picture strips rated for the board's weight.
Quilting cotton works best. Stretchy fabric goes wavy.
