3. Combine Chalkboard and Burlap
Chalkboard paint and burlap are popular crafting materials. You can use both to make your very own unique memo board. I am loving the chalkboard wooden cup here. You can get one at your nearest craft supply store. There are probably other shape that you can choose from if you're not too keen on the cup idea.

This is a memo board inspired by the butler bell pull of Downton Abbey. Perfect, right? I can just imagine Carson nodding in that quiet, dignified way to show his approval of this fun DIY project. To make your own, you will only need a wooden plaque, a metal bookplate, doorbell button, a brass ring drawer pull, and a bulldog clip. You will also need black paint to change the color of the wood plaque.

7. Make is Geometric
How beautiful! This is my favorite from these unique DIY memo boards. If you want to make your version, you will be needing a polyester pin board, some paint, and some ribbon or command strips for hanging. Tools needed include scissors, ruler, pencil, and tape. As far as colors are concerned, I think going the loud and cheerful way would be great. Imagine this in bright pinks and teals. Fun, right?
