I need design wall ideas please!
1 Attachment(s)
This "curtain" has been my design wall for years. I have to pin blocks to it but it has worked well. After a recent remodel though my sewing space has changed. I now share my area with dh's desk and he had the wonderful idea of an ironing board on the wall. I love that part but it now makes my design wall practically unusable. So what I would like to do is change it. I would like ideally something I con't have to pin blocks to and I would like to put the design wall in front of my fabric shelves and have two pieces that I could put one in front of the other. Does that make sense? So whatever I use has to be lightweight. I just can't figure out what to use and how to make them moveable. I thought about something like closet doors but then I checked prices. Not in my budget. Did I mention it also has to be cheap?
Here's some pictures of my current set up. I appreciate any ideas! |
Install a double curtain rod above the opening. Use wall anchors for drywall and it won't come down.

I have no ideas. I use my bed for my design wall.

I use felt. The blocks stick well to it. I only need to pin if it's a heavy bigger block.

How it do you want it to be? You could cover insulation board with batting or flannel. It would be very light weight. I posted a thread about my design wall recently, perhaps you could do something similar and not attach it to the wall.

I just found this link to a tute for a design wall. Good luck! |
I did the same as the others...covered two insulation boards. I used Gorilla tape to seam them together in the middle. I was going to screw them to the wall in my new sewing studio but someone suggested I leave them loose so if I wanted to lay it on the floor to baste a quilt, I could.

I use a flannel-backed tablecloth I purchased at WalMart on clearance for $.30. I can roll it up for a mobile design wall.
