This memorabilia/photo board is the perfect project to adapt to your style and the supplies you have on hand. I'll share my list of supplies, measurements, and general how-tos, but I encourage you to change it up to make it your own.
Here are the supplies that I used:
- 12½" x 22" x3/8" board
- 1/8" dowel rod
- 4½" x 1 3/8" x ¼" wood scraps
- Mini clothespins (found these at a dollar store)
- Liquid wood glue
- Acrylic paint
- 18" length of twine
- Corner guards
Equipment Used:
Here's the steps for making a memorabilia board:
- Decide where you want to position your shelves. I used three, but your board may have fewer or more—your choice. Measure and mark the shelf positions.
- Cut the shelf slits using the table saw. Set the adjustable fence to accommodate your board.
- Cut the slits to the depth mark.
- Drill holes at the top for hanging.
- Next, adjust the angle on the drill stand, and drill the holes for the dowel rod pegs.
- If you're using corner guards, skip this step. Round the corners by either sanding them to a rounded shape, or cut the rounded corners using the bandsaw or scroll saw.
- Sand surfaces as needed.
- Using liquid wood glue, glue the shelves and pegs in place.
- Finish the surfaces—paint, stain, wax, leave natural, etc. I painted the board with acrylic paints, but left the shelves, clothespins, and pegs natural.
- Thread the 18" length of twine through the top two holes to form a hanger.
- Optional: Install the corner guards.
- Enjoy your memorabilia/photo board.
