I’m such a huge fan of having inspiration boards around the office, usually in a constant state of flux dependent on what I’m thinking or planning at the time. One of the things I love about these is that in some ways they can act as artwork as well as reminders around the office, something more than just a to do list. Not content to have a normal pin board, I recently set about creating this net inspiration board – was surprisingly simple to create and definitely ticks the box of functional art!
You need:
- A decorative fishing net
- two dowels (or broom handles)
- some extra string
- a coil of coloured rope
How to:
1. Start by unravelling your net and threading the top through one of the dowels.
2. Thread it all the way on making sure not to miss any loops.
3. Do that for the other end so you have the top and bottom attached to the dowel.
4. Now, because naturally the net will slide inwards due to the slack within it, you want to use some string to make it taught between the dowels. To do this you want to cut two pieces of string that are roughly 1.5 x the length of the net. Start by tying the string to the top of the dowel.
5. Thread it all the way through down the side of the net.
6. And then tie it off tight at the bottom, pulling the knot away to tighten the net. When you’ve done this on both side the net should sit taught between the dowels. String it up to the wall by adding some bright coloured cord.
Voila!
This is a lovely idea! It’s a nice change from the traditional notice board and makes a nce conversational piece.

Oh this is nice! It’s a little bit like my inspiration board, but I used chicken wire (or at least I think that’s how you call it). You can see it in this photo: http://instagram.com/p/qLp3Cyv1GH/?modal=true
I LOVE IT
Great idea, have to to it 🙂
Great idea, this is definitely a step above the cork boards and magnetic strips I have all around my work area. I like that this can be as huge or mini as you want it to be – will definitely be giving it a try!

Such a beautiful and different way of doing a inspiration board! I’m definitely going to give it a go and try and make my own.

[…] Vision & Inspiration boards zullen de meesten van jullie wel kennen. Ik heb er ook 1 naast mijn bureau hangen (een klein magneetboord) en ben ook bezig met een inspiratie boek. Op de website van A Pair and a Spare kwam ik een mooie zomerse variant tegen: een Visnet Inspiration Board! Eigenlijk ziet dit er veel leuker en creatiever uit, plus je kunt er ook andere dingen inhangen zoals sieraden. Bekijk de DIY hier. […]
This is a great alternative to a cork board! I’m totally going to make one to spruce up my rental and as a mood board for my DIY blog 🙂 Maybe with the net in a different colour 😉
