Colorful Display - Create your own board for mementos

  1. Select a (1/2-inch-thick) wooden panel in a desired size. (A Lowe’s employee can cut the panel for you, if needed.)
  2. Paint the panel; we used American Tradition® Signature ColorsTM, Laura Ashley Home, Raspberry #LA418, satin.
  3. Cut several lengths of white mason line (#66516)—found in the hardware department—about 4 inches longer than the panel’s width. Cut several more lengths about 4 inches longer than the height.
  4. Arrange the mason line on the panel in an overlapping crisscross pattern, as shown.
  5. Secure the mason line with furniture nails (#58199). Pull each length tightly between the nails.
  6. Trim the loose ends to about 1/2 inch in length, and then fray them.
