Craft Room Peg Board & Scrapbook Paper Letters

Sharing is caring!

Last week I revealed my new sewing desk makeover for my craft room/home office. I love the way the white pops of the yellow stenciled wall, but I needed to create some storage above it for all my crafting tools.

I’ve been seeing a lot of peg boards recently across the web, so I thought this would be a perfect way to organize my room. I picked up a piece of 4×8′ peg board from Lowe’s and had them cut it down to size to fit above the sewing desk.

I found the studs in the wall and nailed the board into place.

Now we’re ready to “make it fancy” according to my 4 year old daughter.

I purchased some peg board hooks from Lowe’s as well. These are extremely easy to hang in place and come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

OK, now for some additional bling! I wanted an inspiring message on this peg board as well so I decided to cover some wooden letters in colorful scrapbook paper. I grabbed my mod podge and got to work!

I traced out the letters and trimmed them out of the scrapbook paper.

I then used a foam brush to apply the mod podge directly on the wooden letters I bought from Michael’s on sale for $2 each.

I placed the cut-out letters on the sticky letters and that was it! I used the same technique for the letters on my daughter’s bedroom over 4 years ago and they’re still 100% perfect!!

OK, ready for the reveal? Get ready for pHoTo OvErLoAd!

    I like the peg board for your MAKE space. I’m just starting to redo my CREATE space, and enjoyed reading about your emerging space. Love the way the white works with the yellow wallpaper. Thanks! ~CJ
