      Hi Tina! I love the idea of using an old piece of particle board! Is that a piece of mesh screening, like for a door? Great idea!

      New follower to your blog. Love the idea of reusing things ~ nothing better than saving $$ on projects and in turn helping to keep some of the stuff from being thrown out. Thanks for the inspiration!

      I am learning more and more on how to use what is around my house when I craft.

      I enjoyed your project and I like others would not have thought of using particle board as a backing for my project..

      Thanks for sharing,
