You can do this with a painting canvas from Michael's or A.C. Moore too. That's what I do. Just turn it upside down and put the beading mat in the indentation of the back of the canvas. So easy to do.
Great tip! Last year I made a bead board out of a cheap unfinished wood picture frame, scrap plywood (for the base), ultrasuede remnants, quilt batting to pad the base and frame, and part of an old Vellux blanket. For kicks, I covered the bottom with skid-resistant fine chenille upholstery fabric, wrapped the sides with fancy ribbon and covered the seam between the frame and sides with braided rayon cording. My bead board took a bit longer to make, but it turned out gorgeous and cost under $5 to make. All those scraps I've kept around to use "someday" finally came in handy!😃 😉
Love it!! TFS!! I’m going to try this. I happened to have a vellux blanket I didn’t like and I’ve cut it into many beading mats and have put them inside a low box lid. Very cheap. I’ve heard of people doing it inside cookie sheets too from the thrift or dollar stores.
That's a neat idea! If you like something with taller edges, I found these plastic serving platters at Walmart last year. They are round with about an inch tall edge. They were only a $1 in different colors. I just cut out the bead mat material I was using and glued it in. I can't post a picture in the comments unfortunately. The dollar stores always have trays you could use also.
Love this! Great idea for recycling when you have a picture frame with broken glass: Don't chuck the frame... Just repurpose it into a bead board!
Absolutely!!! :-)

It seriously took me over 60 seconds to realize she was not going to magically turn that $1 8x10 frame into beadboard *wall paneling* LOL 🤦🏾♀️
Lol! No just a nice surface to bead on, I didn't even know there was such as thing as beadboard wall paneling!
