Shabby Chic noticeboard

A few weeks ago i found two large wooden hearts in a charity shop.  They were definately in need of recycling but i knew exactly what i wanted to do with them.  I have been meaning to try and make a padded noticeboard for ages and just haven't got round to it.  Till now!.  I cut wadding to the shape of the heart and used red and white polka fabric to cover it. i also covered the buttons in the same fabric to match.  I also made some matching pins using fabric heart embellishments.  I also used East of India ribbon which i love so much... Anyhoo what do you think?....

    That is one seriously cute pin-board! I wouldn't want to use it, cover up too much cuteness!

    Great job! It looks fantastic. wasn't it difficult wrapping the fabric round considering the shape of the heart?

    Wendy i folded pleats in the back like a fan to keep its shape and used my staple gun every few inches so not too bad - if that makes sense?
