Remember the days before Pinterest when you would collect ideas from magazines and books? I used to have folders for different things that inspired me. Little did I know that I was actually creating physical pinboards! With an overwhelming amount of inspiration coming at you all the time, mood boards are the perfect way to hone in on a specific feel, and display snippets of inspiration.
I tend to be an inspiration hoarder, so I decided to put it to use! This DIY mood board displays imagery, text, and a few favorite memories in one place, without all of the clutter. I’m excited to show you how to make your own!
What you’ll need
- frame
- wire roll
- wire cutters
- staple gun + staples
- mini clothespins
Steps
1 Carefully remove the glass from the frame, and remove or press down any metal tabs.
2 Measure the amount of wire needed to cover the length of the frame, allowing about 1/2 inch of overlap. Use wire cutters to snip from the roll.
3 Staple the wire around the edges of the frame. I placed staples about every 3 inches.
4 Now it’s time for the fun part – decorating!
A few themes to spark design ideas for your mood board:
- A specific color palette
- Art prints
- Vacation memories
- Greeting cards
- Quotes
- Illustrations
Since Instagram is where I capture the things that inspire me most, I used Kanvess to print my favorite snapshots. This app makes it a breeze to order photos directly from your phone! Simply install the application, select which photos you’d like to order, and submit. Within just a few days, you’ll receive perfectly square, beautiful prints!
Next, I added tickets, cards, words, and pretty pieces of paper to tie it all together. There’s no wrong way to do this – simply hang what you love. You can swap and move things around until it feels right. I found these mini clothespins to be perfect for clipping each piece to the wire.
This frame is also perfect for organizing jewelry!

I absolutely adore this project. Pinned and shared. xo
Thank you, Kelly! It was a lot of fun!
jillian,
how big was the frame you used and where did you buy it from?
I believe the frame is about 3 ft by 5 ft, and it’s from Hobby Lobby!
This is great! I have piles of magazine cut outs, fabrics, and other inspiration I’ve been needing to do something with. I can’t wait to try out this awesome project this weekend.
Ooo perfect!! I would LOVE to see how it turns out when you’re finished! :)

Great idea! Just wondering what kind of specific wire did you get and where? I can’t seem to find any!
Hi Jennifer! I purchased the wire at Home Depot – it’s usually in the gardening section. It would be with the chicken wire, and it comes in different sized rolls. Hope this helps! :)
Just stumbled across this diy and I can’t wait to get started! I was curious what size were the squares on your wire? I can’t decide between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch!
Hi Morgan! The squares measure 1/2 inch – the 1/4 inch squares are just a liiittle bit too small. Hope this helps! :)

This is such a unique way of creating an inspiration board. It’s out of the typical cork board concept, but it is ten times better. I love it.

This is beautiful! I want to make one for my daughter and you have given me many ideas to use, thank you! Using this idea for jewelry is also brilliant.
