He duct taped them together....he alternated the taping - taping the first two panels on the front and the next two on the back. He duct taped around to protect all edges. Then we taped cheap batting on the front......It can fold up and be stashed in a closet.

I use flannel on the back of my door. It's always out of the way, and if I need to close the door, I can take it down.

Here is a tutorial on a portable design wall that looks easy to construct. I am thinking I will make one like this, even though I have one attached to a wall in my sewing room. One can always use more space!

I went to the dollar store and bought a vinyl table cloth that had flannel on the back. I pin it up on the wall when I need it and fold it and put it away when I don't.

I bought those 3M hooks that have the removable adhesive strips so if I ever want to move it somewhere else, I can remove the hooks with no damage to my wall.

We riped up the sprinkler system in my back yard and the PVC was lying there so I got an idea to clean up enough for a 6x6 ft. frame to put flanel of it for a designer wall. I will tell you how it turns out when we get around and make it.

I'm so grateful you asked and so grateful for the wonderful ideas posted. Thanks!

I use a flannel-backed plastic table cloth from Family Dollar...Works great!

This is the frist time I have written on this form, but been lurking for a long time. Lisa
