Designing your own memoboard

Inspiring and motivational quotes always make us feel more confident about ourselves and our capabilities as a human being. Quotes and sayings also serve as a reminder for us on our roles as beings on this Earth and what we must do to not only get away with problems but also get through them. A good way to have these quotes in our constant remembrance would be by putting them on a memoboard, somewhere you can visually see them every single day.
For this post, my sister and I would like to share what we did with our memoboards and we will include some simple tips to start making and designing your own!
Memoboards not only hold favourite or memorable quotes. Of course you can add small memos, to-do-lists, your monthly schedules, polaroids and pictures of your loved ones. Here are our personal memoboards!
Materials used:
- Memoboard (framed/frameless)
- Personal picture (printed on 190gsm paper)
- Images (Tumblr, IKEA cataloque book, Google)
- Quotes we love (from Google and Tumblr)
- Scrapbooking papers (from UrbanWrite Singapore)
- Alphabet and number stickers (from UrbanWrite Singapore)
A few tips on making your own memoboard:
- If you don't like things messy, draft out your own memoboard plan. Mark out which are the areas that you would like to place your individual items.
- Plan out a colour theme if you would like. It'd look nicer and less noisy.
- Get your materials ready before you start on your memoboard. Designing your memoboard may take more than an hour - depending on a lot of circumstances - and it'd be great to spend a single stretch of time to do your board until its completion. The sense of accomplishment once you put up your board is definitely amazing.
- Turn on some of your favourite music while you are designing your memoboard. It adds some hype and keeps your excitement up high! (This can be a tough work especially when things go wrong along the way.)
- Let your mind flow throughout the process. Sometimes the draft that you crafted earlier on may not suit the materials that you have. Always open your mind to alter the angle of your materials and shift them across or anywhere on your board. Who knows, impromptu work can be marvelous at times!
- The memoboard is your own personal masterpiece. So it should represent who you are as a person as well as your personality. Obviously there is never a right or wrong design for your own memoboard. Set yourself free, don't stress up and enjoy every minute of your efforts!
- Lastly, always be inspired!
