Portable Design Wall?
 

I need your ideas. I've been using a flannel on a curtain rod but I don't have any good place to hang it.
I'd like something I can lean against a cabinet. TY!!

Dotty how big do you need it? For smaller projects get a tri fold foam poster board, cover it with flannel and it would sit on a cabinet or lean against it..

I'd love something about 4 x 8". Plywood would be too heavy. I live in an apartment and would love something I can tuck behind a cabinet.TY

How about two sheets of insulation? You could tape them together with some
duck tape and fold them when not in use.

I have 2-4X7 sheets of rigid insulation, from home depot covered in cheep batting. Works great and easy to move I cut off a foot because I can't reach that high, and it is easier to move around

Design board suggestion
 

My husband bought a large piece of foam board at our local Home improvement store for my design boards.
He cut it in half and I covered them with flannel.
The two boards fit behind my sewing room wall, and I can quickly slide them out when I need them.
If I need a large width I just put the two boards side by side.
They are very lightweight and easy to use and store.

Portable Design Wall
 

When I was in a guild I made one out of foam boards cut into 18" x 8' sections, used duck tape to put them together but still able to fold them up into an accordian fashion, added flannel to one side. This made it easy for me to tote them to the place where we held our guild meetings. I've left that guild and moved out of the state so have no idea if its still being used or not. They now have come out with portable ones that looked much better but at a heftier price. I now have a design one using leftover batting on one wall but getting ready to upgrade it with something behind the batting so I can push straight pins into it.

Forgot to mention I had put 4 sections at 18" wide x 8' together making it 72" x 8'.

Thanks for your ideas. I just taped 2 flattened cardboard boxes together . Tucked into an open dresser drawer.
It works until I can catch a ride to Home Depot!!

I went to Lowes and bought foam board. The gentlemen there cut it down so I could reach the top and loaded it in my car. I put flannel on it and it slides in and out behind a quilt I have hung on the wall. It is a shelf quilt hanger, so there is about 6 inches behind it. I had looked at the design walls that roll down like a window shade, but they were too expensive.

i have a flannel back tablecloth hung on cuphooks that match the molding so they are almost invisible when i take the flannel down. it's quite convenient and easy to put up and take down. i use a step stool to reach the top. if i get any shorter i'll need a ladder.
sorry i don't live closer-- i'm always up for a trip to home depot!
