IKEA hack: Decorating a SPONTAN notice board

Today me and Becky went to IKEA for some inspiration and (as usual) ended up buying some stuff (it's impossible not to in IKEA)

Not so much a technology hack, but I still think this is worth mentioning. We previously bought a SPONTAN magnetic notice board, and this time spotted a little tip tag in the showroom.
We thought we'd give it a try. Becky found some nice CECILIA fabric that was cheap, and with the help of some magnets we stuck it on.

SPONTAN before hacking

Plenty of fabric to work with

The perfect device to attach the fabric, magnets!

Fold it over

Attach with a magnet on the back

Cut it to fit

Fold the corners neatly, attach with more magnets

Neat hospital corner folding

The last magnet is in place

The finished result is ready

And back on the wall where it belongs

    1. eBay. I can't remember the seller, but they were cheap and arrived within a few days.
