Here's how I made the Coffee bag bulletin board, Sorry I didn't take a before picture, but it was a rather dated looking purple board in a purple rounded edged plastic frame.

Start with a large coffee bag, my sister picked this one up for my at a local coffee shop for $1

Cut to fit your board and Staple.

 

Brooklyn snapped a picture of me working, and yes, the baby got a hold of the scissors for 2 seconds....I took them away very shortly.....
