Garden Sieve Noticeboard Part 2: Tutorial

I'm super-duper excited with how well this 

garden-sieve noticeboard project turned out. 

Easy, cheap and gorrrrrgeous.

You want a tutorial?

You got it...

You will need:

Jute String

A Garden Sieve

Strong Card

Gorgeous Fabric

{I used Toile de Poulet by Cabbages and Roses}

Step 1: 

Thread the jute string in an evenly-spaced cross-cross pattern over the sieve. 

I did this one piece at a time, leaving long ends either side.

Step 2: 

Cut a piece of strong card so that it fits snugly inside the sieve.

Step 3:

Turn the sieve upside down. Making sure that all string ends are out of the way, lay your ironed fabric right-side down onto the inside of the sieve. Then place the cardboard circle over the top. Once you've checked that it all looks fine from the front, trim the fabric to a neat shape (leaving some leeway for emergency adjustments).

Step 4:

Tie the ends of each length of string firmly together. 

This ensures that the front stays taut.

Step 5:

Admire your new Garden-Sieve Noticeboard...

All will be fully revealed on Friday...

Oh, and did I mention that we had the baby scan?

I was right. I was right. 

I totally out-righted that handsome husband of mine.
