It can be as simple as pinning your sources of inspiration to your wall or a board, or you can get creative. Check out these unique ideas for creating an inspiration board in you space.

  2. So many creative ways to organize ideas and inspiration. Love using picture frames. I think my favorite is the board with different color papers to divide board into sections.

  7. I have no room for an inspiration board unfortunately, but I do have 3 ring binders full of ideas and cut outs of pretty pictures/designs. I have tons of craft links saved to my bookmarks on my computer. Sometimes I'll work up an idea on my craft table and take a picture of it to use later.

  8. Wonderful variety of boards you selected. I have thought about making one, but as yet haven't. I think it'd be a good idea, though.
