I am obsessed with getting organized this year. I want the whole family to put down our “screens” and digitally detox, but I still want to keep everything together, without the help of gadgets. When VTech asked to sponsor a post on Pretty Prudent in support of their cordless phones, it was the perfect excuse to get to work creating a prettier version of the “refrigerator door” organization-concept my mom worked so well with for all those years. It’s the ideal “analog” system, combined with a VTech cordless phone that is affordable and durable, with oh-so-crisp speakerphone quality, call-waiting, and up to 14 minutes of voicemail; but without the social media, games, and apps from which we need a break.
I decided to take my latest craft obsession, weaving, and combine it with my new obsession with organization to create this woven cork board, then use it as a family base station to hold our calendar, shopping lists, school notices, tickets, and more.
Watch the video above for the step-by-step tutorial to create a warp using just thumbtacks and string, then weave it with yarn for a textural, beautiful take on the family base station.
Thank you to VTech for making this awesome phone, sponsoring this DIY Video, and inspiring us to participate in a digital detox by creating this DIY family base station, which will be the hub of our home.
