For the most part we are crafty enough to make our own memo board with some spray paint or found fabric. But lately we can't imagine finding the time to make anything. So when we spied these pre-made fabric memo boards yesterday in Real Simple we thought we'd share. Check out more styles after the jump.
Aviary Capri
Garden Linen
Antique Tapestry Indigo
Memo boards are a great organizational tool for hanging important notices, bills, or tiny bits of information that need to stay up front and center. With these beautiful memo boards from Pulp, your high-ranking memos won't be overlooked. You get to choose from 17 fabric styles with each gallery wrapped solid wood frame including beehive hangers for quick and easy hanging--plus a free tin of 25 wooden pushpins!

I love you people. Just this morning I was scratching my head wondering where I would find a cool-looking bulletin board. And look! Here they are!

Or you can go to Big Lots and buy one for under $10 and recover it with your own fabric (found or not). Real Simple isn't my idea of a source for thrifty, clever solutions--it's just shopping tips.

I love it when someone pays maybe 10k for a sofa and then hangs memo boards above it---kind of speaks to my inner soul of ridiculousness!

Yard of fabric..... .$5
Box of pushpins.....$2
Artists Canvas......$5
Paying $39 for something you could do at home in less than an hour and for less than $15.... PRICELESS

Kudos to all who DIY w/the memo boards.
I just ordered 2 from Pulp. I like the patterns offered, I don't have the time for DIY and purchasing from a company that carries good products and provides employment is important to me.
BTW the September issue of Real Simple has a great A-Z guide on recycling as well as some terrific book suggestions submitted by readers. In fact, I've added a few titles to my que at the library which is (drum roll please) FREE!

Wow, what a nice surprise to see our new boards on one of our favorite sites! And just to put a human face on the business...My husband and I are co-founders of Pulp and RealMemories.com (our new online custom framing site).
We really work hard to develop beautiful, unique and functional products at a reasonable price. Your positive feedback and support keeps us going, so thanks:)

Hey- I actually bought one of the Pulp Memo boards and just got it this week...it's beautiful and the quality is a heck of a lot better than buying someone's cheezy cast offs from Big Lots! The fabric I chose is sturdy and gorgeous.
$39? You call that expensive? It's a steal. I've seen similar things that aren't half as well made & designed for a lot more money. And not for anything, but the free wooden pushpins were a nice detail.
So, you go girl!

Another creative way to make your own bulletin boards is to use acoustical sound boards glued to a solid substrate. In our shop we use sound boards made from recycled tires and frame them in high-tech 1" aluminum frames for a great industrial look.
Great ideas here!
