I built this for my daughters room to add some color to go along with their black, white and pink zebra print room. This was very easy to make and takes less than an hour. The foundation of this panel is 1"x2" boards. I made this piece 6' wide by roughly 3' high. You can make yours which ever size you like. The pattern is fabric I ordered on line and the letters and hooks I bought and the local craft store. Using the 1"x2" boards I made a rectangle the size I wanted and used screws to hold the boards together. For added support I added two more boards in the middle of the panel evenly spaced apart to so I could screw the letters in. After the wood frame is built I wrapped the fabric around the frame. Starting on one end of the frame, take staples and secure the fabric. Tighten the fabric and staple the opposite end. Continue this step on the other sides until its secure. Attach picture hangers to the back of the frame so you can secure it to the wall. Any style you choose will do. The frame does not way that much. The letter I set in place and traced with pencil to make the design look seamless. I then painted the letters with black and white paint accordingly. Using screws I set them back on the frame lining them up with the fabric design. I used the nails that came with the letter hooks to attach the hooks. Then I took hercules hangers hooks to hang the panel on the wall. I straight edge works to line the hercules hooks so the panel is straight. After hanging the panel I put my daughters dance bags and fidora's on the hooks and voila it's finished. This is great way of adding accents to a room instead of painting a wall.
