design wall
#11
I agree that I am not sure how long the duck tape will last, but so far it has been three years. Flannel would work well too, I am sure. I just leave the threads on and don't try to clean them off though. A friend told me that her granddaughter vacuumed the threads off, trying to be helpful, and stuff never stuck the same afterwards. So I just leave mine on.

I did similar with the insulation board. I bought 2 pieces of 4' x 8' then used duct tape to make a hinge so that I only have 1 side exposed til I need it folded out. I did use regular spray adhesive to keep the batting [what I used instead of felt or flannel, because I had a lot] on the insulation. A friend came over and helped me with this.
Another friend helped me make a g rid using ribbon so that the larger open design wall in now in 12" grids with diagonal markings from the corners.
I don't know how long I've had mine, but it has been years now.
I did make a vinyl cover for the bottom of the wall so that it wouldn't get dirty near the floor. I slide the folded wall over a built in desk area where I keep my serger, so now the serger is artifully hidden from view.

I do have the design wall you inquired about. It works very well, blocks stick to it . The screen is actually sturdy,the
only problem I see is lots of threads stick to it. Mine was originally hung too high(over a door) and now have it moved
lower so I can reach the top without using a stool.

My hubby made mine out of a roll up blind, you know the cheap ones that look like bamboo. 6 feet across, six long. Covered with flannel It hangs off a horizontal beam in my sewing room. I just roll it up when not in use. I have no wall space as there are shelves on all the wall.
