Shari won my heart; she tells us that making a French memo board is "entirely easy" while also posting a picture of one she made - and a list of the ways she went wrong - because "the world needs to know how
not to make a French memo board."
For those of us without a bit of the crafting gene, buying a memo board would be a better option. I mentioned Texas Susannie's
Christmas memo boards a few days ago, but of course she makes
many more; that's one of hers above. She also sells on iOffer.
Crane & Co. sells a few memo boards, including this one with - cranes!
Update on Feb. 12, 2012: Crane & Co. doesn't seem to sell these any more.
Pins and Ribbons sells a wide range of French-style memo boards.
Update on May 8, 2021: This store seems to have disappeared.
Trendy Tot Designs tends to make memo boards in baby blue and pink.
Update on Feb. 12, 2012: This store seems to have vanished.
Pierre Deux sells memo boards with a French country look.
Update on Feb. 12, 2012: It seems Pierre Deux went bankrupt.
And Tutta Bella Boutique sells some memo boards that aren't your normal rectangles. Shoe lovers might want to look at the "high heels" pattern.
Update on Feb. 12, 2012: This shop seems to have disappeared.
Exclusively By Maritza is an Etsy store with a wide range of memo boards.
Update on May 8, 2021: I'm no longer finding this store.
And finally,
Nena Von is another Etsy merchant with memo boards. [via

Hi Jeri - I'm a DIY girl and this is one of those projects that is super easy and gives a truly personal touch.
ReplyDeleteI love all the ideas you have here too! Gives me even more ideas to work with.
Allison, if you make a new one, send along a picture and I'll post it!
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome post! I'm not a DIY girl at all, but the links you provided are SO helpful. If I buy a board, I'll send you a pic.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog!
T, I'm so glad this post helped you. I'd love to see a pic if you buy a board!
