Default Design boards - how to make

Hello all - I've read that you can make a design board by purchasing a Project Board. The one I bought from Best Buy is a Tri-Fold project board that opens to 36 x 48 inches which is OK for me because I make mostly smaller quilt items anyway.

But what do you cover the board with (this one is white heavy weight cardboard, not the foam kind). I think I've read to cover it with white flannel (or felt?) but don't really know for sure and how would you attach it to the tri-fold board - glue all over, staples, tape?

I need some suggestions please. I've been hanging an old flannel backed table cloth to put the quilt squares on but it's kind of wobbly and thought something a little firmer would be nice.

Thanks for your help.
