National Craft Month – Dinosaur Train

March 29, 2012 By Beth 5 Comments

The folks at Quilting treasures sent some of their new Dinosaur Train fabric in celebration of National Craft Month!

They put out four craft projects that include a bulletin board, lampshade, picture frames, and book covers.

I decided to work on the bulletin board for Matthew’s big boy room update I am slowly working on! He loves dinosaurs (as much as he loves cars!) so I am combining cars and dinosaurs in his room as I update the decor!

Here are the supplies I needed for the bulletin board:

As a note, I didn’t use the braid the directions stated to use, I just went with a flat ribbon.The directions on the project sheet were really simple to follow so don’t worry about trying to figure out what to do. Oh and this project is no-sew … get out your glue gun and you are set!

Ta-da! Here is the finished bulletin board …

This project only took me about an hour and half (with a four year old “helper”). I was happy it was a short project I could sneak in on a Sunday afternoon when the house was a little quiet. Plus I could get the need to work on a craft out of my system for the week! Now I just need to get Brian to hang it up in Matthew’s room!

NOTE: Fabric is not intended for children’s sleepwear.

What would you make with this fabric? Leave me a comment and let me know!

    I have been wanting to make one of these for YEARS. I love how that fabric has JUST enough pink for me to be able to put it in my girls room even! Very cute!

      It was really easy. I figured it would be much harder to make but I surprised I was able to complete it in short amount of time and not leave it half unfinished for days … weeks … months … you know.
      And you are right that fabric if perfect for any dinosaur lover! 😉 Pink or purple ribbon would change the look completely!

    Very cute! I ended up buying myself a board because I didn’t want to go through the work of making my own.

    That looks awesome! You did a great job on it, Beth. I love how versatile bulletin board are- I have one in the kitchen and two in Bella’s room for hair bows. Bryson loves dinosaur train & that fabric is cute. Can’t wait to see the updated room!
