- 4 different ways to make a design wall! Today I am making my new design wall for my studio and bringing you along with me...I have missed you all! It's time to get back to work after moving, and before I do this needs to get done. I've had a lot of questions about my previous design wall and so I though I'd share my ideas and tips for making your own.

The best tip of this whole video was your stud showing us how to find studs for ourselves 😊.
hahaha, I agree!
Great tutorial on the wall. I laughed when you showed the mattress straps. The clips look exactly like garter clips we wore with stockings before they came out with pantyhose 😂😂
hahahaha that's exactly what some other's have said as well :)
I thought the same thing!
Those garters were tools of my trade. Is it serendipity to find a new more useful way to use garters? It doesn’t matter now. At the time, I loved silk stockings. Now I love quilting. I am transforming and evolving into my truly more creative self.
I love the way Harlan finds studs. Never thought of that ❤
I am very new at making quilts but I have been subscribed to your channel for a while. I'm getting ready to redo a room for a sewing space and I found this to be the way I am going to make a design wall. Thanks a heap for your inspiration!
I also loved the stud finder using magnets, which I am going to also use to hang my tv
What a lovely couple you two make. Both articulate, patient & so sweet. The demo was exactly what I am looking for, especially the portable one w/pillow case. Thanks for a very valuable video. I had fun watching it.👍💜👍🧡👍
Aww your hubby is sweet. He liked being on camera. Had a smile from ear to ear and more importantly, he supports your hobby/artistry. Yay!! I'm toying with a quilt design wall of some kind....your video has given me some ideas.
So glad you're back and settling into your new studio!! I've been looking forward to this tutorial so I can also make my own design wall. Thanks for the tips and see you soon!!
Hello Ms. Connie, so great to hear from you! I'm hoping this video gave you some great ideas for your new design wall or even sparked an idea or two :)
Love the flannel sheet/pillowcase idea! Thanks!
So glad to see you I’ve missed seeing you so much. I love, love, love your studio! So happy for you. Really looking forward to more videos from your fabulous new space. 💕
Hey Sandy, I've missed you too!
This was so helpful - especially the A B C D part of the tutorial. THANK YOU!
Looking forward to see new designs on your wall. Enjoy your new studio, Lisa!
Me too Lylian, I have a ton of ideas for fun creative quilt projects ahead :) Thanks for watching!
This is exactly what I thought I was looking for. I had figured out everything except how to hang the board on the wall. I was getting so excited leading up to the ending… your hubby… the cabinet screws…. the large washers… yes! yes! got it! got it! Then, nothing. 😢 To me it was the main question, to others it might be a dumb question, but I don’t have a handyman at me disposal, so how do you attach the board to the wall??! Screw straight through the flannel sheet? And how do you easily take it down for cleaning if you do that?
Thank you. Is my ? too.
Same question. How did you mount the board on the wall? How can you change the flannel?
I would install using brackets that would be secured directly to the wall. That way the brackets can be removed to change the flannel and there are no holes in the flannel or board. Hope that makes sense!
Great idea to use the pillow cases as a "traveling design wall/board." Your large design wall is fabulous. I haven't watched the entire video yet but I really need to know how to install it to the wall. Thanks for the great ideas. You REALLY lucked out with the deal on your sheet set. I am just finding your channel thanks to a shout-out from Brenda at Conquering Mount Scrapmore. You posted this 4 years ago so if you see this comment, would you do anything differently for your design wall?
Have the same question, how do you install it up on the wall?
Love your new sewing studio! Wish I had a big space like that. I'm really happy for you. Glad you are back. Love your hair too, so cute. Thank Harland for showing us how to find studs. That is a neat trick. Great video on how to make a design wall.
hahaha, he loves popping into a video here and there! It really is a great trick, who would have thought finding studs in the wall could be so simple??
So glad you're back Lisa. Enjoy your new home. Thanks for the tutorial.The magnet for the stud finder with an excellent idea. Thank you so much for sharing.
Who would have thought finding a stud in the wall could be so simple??? hahaha, we thought that was a neat trick and had to pass it along.
Thank you Lisa for all the great ideas.
Thank you for this! It's nice to know there are options even for my small sewing den. xxx
and for traveling too!! Thanks for watching :)
Thank you. Going to head out today to pick up my supply list. Can’t wait to work on it! Love that neutral shade of gray you chose. I am going to be a copycat lol
Thank you for sharing your wonderful creative talents. I'm glad your back! I've missed your videos.
Thank you so much Teresa!
Thank you SO much for this video! It's extremely helpful, so detailed, and well explained. Thank you!!!
Thank you Lisa! Excellent info...now, I think I have the perfect spot for. Design wall! 🤗
You are so welcome!
Thank you....I was thinking about making a design wall just the other day
Love the idea of the board into 4 pieces so it folds up in quarters. Thank you.
So glad I could pass this along and share it with you Carole :)
Thanks heaps for your design wall ideas as I now have a sewing room I’m going to start with just the flannel on some cord as I’ve limited space.. Your video taught me more than you could imagine ❤️
Super helpful! Thank you so much. Can’t wait to do one for myself!
Thanks for watching Suzanne, enjoy your new design wall!!
You are a wonderful teacher! I'm reorganizing my sewing room (it's small) and I plan to use your ideas. Thank you!
Thank you so much Kathryn!!!! Ohhhhh I love seeing everyone's creative spaces :) I hope you enjoy the reorganizing process!
Loved the portable wall insulated boards. I made the small one using the pillowcover and then used your idea with use of photos printed using freezer paper and attached some photos to corners and plan to use it as pinboard in my office.
woahhhh. what a wonderful idea, way to think outside the box and get creative!!!
Great tip about finding a stud. 👍🏻
Very well done. Love the flannel sheets ideas. TY
I am so glad I did more searching. Before I found your tutorial, we already purchased insulation foam boards. I didn't tape them together yet.! I just have them standing very close together. I showed my husband how you cut them in 4's to fold up and store away. He loves that idea. He said, it should fit in our closet under our staircase. The only thing I am not able to do is mount it. But, it still does a great job at holding my blocks. I also purchased flannel for the board, and it really does work great! Thank you for this great video.
Great ideas for design walls I like the portable one. Because I have a limited space. So I most likely will give that one a try. Thank you Lisa for this video and helpful information.
Absolutely brilliant tutorial I can’t wait to make one 👏🏻
thank you so much Dianne, I hope you enjoy your new design wall!
So very glad to see you back. Your studio is a dream. Must be exciting to see it take shape.
It is sooo exciting, I've missed my creative space in this last month!
To Harlan, that was brilliant!!! Our stud finder is not accurate every time. Thank you!!
He was happy to pass that tip along, thanks for watching!
Big Shout out to your hubby for the stud finder magnet idea! I all your design walls & great explanations on making them. Excellent video!
Thank you for showing how to make a designer wall . I live in an apartment with very little space. I like your portable wall now I'm going to make me one with the board you get at the fabric store.
I love the 2 ideas for the portable design walls.
thanks so much Brandy!
Love this!!! Especially loved the magnetic stud finder!!! Can't wait to use that trick next time Hubby and I are working on hanging pictures!!! He'll be soooo impressed!! Thank You!!!
have your magnet ready and just be like......"hold on honey, I'll find the stud for you real quick" hahahaa.....you're right, I think he'll be impressed hehehe
Glad to see you again Lisa 😘...I’m extremely excited about this video because I’ve been waiting for it so I can make my design wall ...and I gotta say it was well worth the wait...and what a brilliant idea to use a flannel sheet ..I didn’t realise it was that easy . Thank you so much and your new space looks lovely and bright...happy sorting 😘💐
I'm so glad this video made making a design wall super simple! The flannel is wonderful all on it's own acting as a design wall or paired with some kind of insulation/foam board.
Very informative. I’m going to make. The large wal (not as big) and the folding one.
I had my husband bring home two 4'X8' pieces of foam insulation to make myself a design wall a month or so ago. Then when I got it home realized how enormous it would be😲! I cannot do that thing..so I've been staring at them all this time!!. LOVE your foldable design idea!! I will make four portable design boards! One for me and three for friends. Thank you for the illustration of how to tape them together. With a little work and possibly some hand stitching, I may be able to cover the four pieces to have a nice finished result to take to classes and such. Thanks again!!
hahahhaa, yeh those 4x8 sections are huge! So glad you were able to customize them for a portable design wall :)
Luv the magnet trick! thanks, Harlan!
It would have been great to see how Harlan screwed the board on. Fantastic tip on finding where the studs are. By the way, your hair cut is darling.
Thank you so much Irene, the shorter hair is certainly much easier for me :) I posted a follow up video for the design wall...maybe that will help?? ua-cam.com/video/NY1Ne3HcHTs/v-deo.html
Wow. So glad I ran across this video. You are a great teacher. The trick your husband used with that magnet, I couldn't believe it. We have a stud finder that is so aggravating I hate to use it. If I had only known this years ago it would have saved me a lot of grey hairs. lol Thanks so much for posting. I love the portable design wall idea for me. I don't have a lot of room in my basement for a permanent design wall. You have made my evening. Happy quilting!
I'm so glad this video was helpful for you Dorene, yes that magnet trick is AWESOME!!
Love the stud finding trick!
I thought so too Peggy!!! We purchased a stud finder and it wasn't working so well.....looked up a tutorial about it and came across this idea and had to pass it along :)
Love the magnet trick. Thank you for the great video.
Once again, great ideas and suggestions. Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Great job MsLisa❣️✨💫 and great frugal design wall❣️💫
I love your new hair style, it looks great on you! Your new craft room looks super spacious! I look forward to future tutorials and a tour.
Great design board ideas, thank you!😊
Thank you so much Jill, it is quite a bit more room verses my last space. I look forward to giving a tour once everything finds a place and off these tables and floor hahaha :)
Thanks for sharing this video. Your videos as a lot of helpful information. I had used a small piece of pink foam board for temporary use.. I wish i had your fold-up idea . Well, you've shared your idea, so now I'm making a new portable design wall! Thank so much again. Very informative!
Oh LIsa (sister of short hair) what a BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, new sewing space you have ! ! ! I just love your new design wall. The idea of a design wall in a pillowcase will work perfectly for my small space, and the foldable one, just ingenious ! ! You have such wonderful ideas. So looking forward to videos from your new space. What a sweet husband you have. Take care and God Bless you both!
Isn't he just AWESOME????? He's always so helpful and loves making appearances in the videos from time to time hahaha. I used to have short spikey hair....I loved it! Then grew it out and because of my hair type it was soooo much work, going back to short was one of the best choices I've made in a long time hahahaa. It's great to hear from you, can't wait to spend more time with you!
Pillow case was very clever!
Great idea and job. Love it. Thanks for sharing.Lisa
You are so welcome!
Such wonderful ideas you gave us. I think I can use one for my wall. Thank you so much for showing us these ideas. Yours is so pretty.
Thank you so much Vera! Glad I could pass along the ideas :)
Lisa Capen Quilts ❤️
Thank you for showing us how to make our own design wall. Beautiful studio! What a sweet husband Harland is - you two are such a cute sweet couple! Great tips! Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us next :)
He is really great isn't he??? Hahaha, he loves making an appearance from time to time in the videos :)
Excellent ideas! Thanks for the clear explanations and the thrifty, creative suggestions for which materials to use.
Great ideas! I’m heading out to get supplies now. Thank you Lisa.
Thanks , love your ideals always so informative.
Great video and congratulations on your new home and quilting space. My design wall is much like yours. My husband attached wooden slats into the paneling and then we screwed the foam insulation board into these slats. My has been up for years and I am able to vacuum the flannel and change it if I need to in the future.
vacuum the flannel......that's genius! Thanks for passing that along. You know us quilters, we have strings everywhere!! My last design wall was always COVERED with string and because it was just poly batting it was really hard to clean. I like the idea of breaking out the vacuum every once in a while to tidy up :)
Oh that was cool, hope you enjoy your new home and especially your craft room
Hello Anne, great to hear from you! Thank you soooo much :)
thank you very much for all your sharing. I have learned so much, and a big thanks to your hubby about the magnic.
it looks great, I love it. Thank you ;)
This was very informative!!! Great ideas... thank you for sharing. 👏👏
Glad it was helpful!
I love your design wall.
Thank you so much Debbie!
I have learnt so much from you today, thank you.
You are so welcome
This was such a helpful tutorial, thank you.
You are so welcome!
Hi Lisa what a gorgeous project and I absolutely adore the view from your window. Your lovely Mum takes fabulous photographs, the birds are stunning. Have a fabulous weekend Lisa, big hugs and loves xxxxxxxxxx Dorothy 😘🙋🏻❤️🌟
My parents love doing photography and it shows for sure! I'm soooooo glad to hear from my sweet Dorothy!!
Great video and ideas for a design wall. I am now headed to Lowe’s to get the insulation boards. Oh, and thank you Harlan for the magnet trick for finding studs, my stud finder was a waste of money. Happy Quilting!!
Ohhhh I'm so excited that you are getting a new design wall!!! They are so helpful to have, and I totally agree......we purchased a stud finder and spent more time trying to figure out how accurate it was........then it took to find a magnet and do it this way :)
Thank you, great ideas.
My first visit. Well done!
Hello Nancy, thanks for stopping by and checking out my video!!! It was great to hear from you :)
When I made my design board, I used installation board and used a flannel back table cloth from Dollar Tree. I secured the table cloth with duct tape and then used command picture strips to attach to wall. I love it.
Wonderful idea, beautiful room! TFS
It was my pleasure, thanks for watching!
Great ideas!!!! Thank you!!
thanks for reaching out and for watching Kathleen!!
Thanks! Now I can do one :)
Great video now im gonna change my own! Thank you
Harley that’s a great tip and I was in construction!
I just told him you said thank you :)
All of these design boards are great. I have some king size flannel sheets that I am not using, since we moved to South Florida. LoL I can use them instead of going and buying more flannel material. Thanks for all the great ideas. 😁
I like your new place and your haircut so glad for you to have a great place
Thank you so much Judie :) How have you been??
I love these ideas!!!!!!!
Thank you for the information. Congrats on your new home. You have a very nice new studio. I would love to have a large space to work in.
Hello Leah, so great to hear from you! Thank you sooo much :) I'm actually used to working in a tiny "she shed" space....looking at all of this stuff I wonder how I fit it all in there before hahahaa......
Thank you so much for this. I just got the white California king sheet set for $13.33! What a deal
Woahhhh, that's a FANTASTIC deal!!!
Lisa, love these ideas. I hope you will give us a tour of your studio and the different tables you are using.
I look forward to showing you around once everything is straight :)
Great job Lisa!! This is the BEST design board I've seen. And your tutorial is fabulous❣🥰 Your hubby is cute and sweet💟
Thanks so much! 😊
Love your space, great video. Tfs.
Thanks so much! 😊
Love all these ideas and just love your videos and Harlen was awesome
Thank you so much!!
Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome!
Good to see that the move went well love the ideas I just done mine the cheap way I just put my flannel sheet on the wall with push pins. It works just fine and I just pin my blocks to the sheet have had no problems so far but I like the idea of a foam core wall.
If I didn't do so many t-shirt quilts I would go the same exact route Linda, hanging the flannel sheet without the insulation board is a perfect design wall! I actually hadn't thought about just pinning the t-shirt blocks into the sheet, that's genius!
Lisa thank you very much for sharing your ideas for the design while love it ❣️🧵✂️😍
Thanks so much 😊
great idea I will be making a design wall. Thanks
Very nice, now I have to find a empty wall 🤔 I’m going to go with the folded up version. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
I really like the idea of being able to fold it up when not using it and tucking it away :) Thanks for watching!
great tip for finding studs!
glad we could pass it along, thanks for watching!!
Hardest part of the insulation board is getting it home as I did not have a truck
Great ideas
You have good ideas thank you from Switzerland
Glad you like them!
Great tips Lisa. Now just have to find the Europian/Dutch versions of all the materials.😁👋
Lisa I love the new gray design wall it looks great with the color your walls are painted. BTW the mystery flower quilt would look beautiful as a wall hanging in your room
Hellllooooo :) So great to hear from you! The grey really does work well in this room, and almost blends in so that it's not so noticeable when not using it...and they grey is such a neutral color that any quilt design won't clash up on the wall :) You are right, that little quilt would look great in here....now to find a place to hang it hehehe :)
@@TheQuiltmakerHomestead it's great to see you posting again. I am so glad you are moved into your new home!
This is a great idea ,thanks
Thanks Lisa! Some good ideas here. You can also use soft felt to cover the Styrofoam but felt is more expensive than your flannel sheet set. 🙏🙏👍👌
Great tip!
Great job
Great ideas.
Thank you Lorraine!
Thanks for sharing, your info was right on track for great design wall options. I am going to make one soon because right now I am using a 96 x 108 flannel backed table cloth $8. from dollar store. It works great but is just taped up as needed. I really need one more stable and that can be pinned also. THANKS AGAIN. Have a great day, love your studio.
I'm sooooo glad this video gave you some ideas, that makes my day!!!
