Hi Chelsea! I love your videos! ❤️ I’m wanting to make a DIY style board that I can roll up and take with me to a destination wedding next month. Do you have any experience with this? And what would make a good board? I was thinking up buying some canvas & painting it with acrylics, but I’m not sure if it would crack. 😬
Thanks Shayleen! 🤗 I can’t remember the paint colors, but I just went to Lowe’s and looked at home color swatches and found some dusty rose pinks I liked. Hope you have fun making yours! Would love to hear how it turns out!
I love that texture! So nice for creating some background detail. Do you always lean towards more neutral colors, or do you sometimes make boards that have more "pop" to them?
Thanks Skye!! I tend to lean towards light or more neutral tones since they tend to match my brand & subject matter better, but I've seen boards that are more saturated in color that are just as beautiful. I think it depends on how you're using them. But they're so easy to make you could definitely experiment and make more than one - one more neutral & one with some POP!
I haven’t tried that! There’s a couple ways you can go, but the reason we chose the calking is because of the flexibility of the material - to avoiding crumbling. So that would be the main thing I’d consider for durability. If you test other materials I’d love to hear how it works out! 🙂
QOTD: Are you going to make one? If so, what do you plan to use your new styling board for?! Share below 👇
Time for an 'essential' trip to Home Depot to pick up a caulk gun! Another amazing and beautiful video from Chelsea Nicole. Who would have guessed?
Haha - Thanks PG!! If you go out, just be safe! Or Amazon has them too. :)
This video was so helpful! I always struggle with flat lays and now I feel prepared and inspired to create something beautiful!!
So easy and the result is really pretty! Love the minimal effort for a high quality look! 💯💣💥
Thanks Christina! Not only are styling boards easy to make, but it's a ton of fun too! Such a great way to get creative. :)
This looks like a fun thing to do during this stay-at-home time, and also easy and practical. Great video!
Yes, definitely a great way to keep creating even from home! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Hey girl!! I love this so much. Here’s to painting. I’m gonna get on it!! ~Jen
Happy painting Jen!! Would love to hear how it turns out!
This is super helpful, totally thought those looked super high end and would be harder! Thanks for inspiring me to finally make one!
They're so easy and fun to make and are such a great way of up-leveling your detail and flat lay photography! You should definitely try it out! :)
Perfect timing on this. I’ve been wanting to make my own styling boards. You make it look so easy to do!
Yay!! Hope you have fun creating your own custom styling boards! It's super easy. :)

Great video!
Thanks Edyta! Glad you liked it. :)
I also like to use textured ceramic tiles from Lowe's. You can get about 8 square feet for $6
Great tip Michael!! :) Love getting creative with different flat lay surfaces!
This is great Chelsea! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Ramiro!!
Very useful video! Thank you for the great content Chelsea. Your videos are encouraging and inspiring.

I feel like I can make one now!!

This is amazing, going to try to make one!
Happy painting! 🧑🏻🎨 I’d love to hear how it turned out!
This is a great idea. Thank you for sharing. I’m looking forward to making my own.
This inspired me to do the same- thank you for the tips and tricks!
You're so welcome! I'm so glad I was able to inspire you 😊
When I painted my Foam Core board it warped into a curve. Twice. So I gave up.
what a great idea!
Thanks love! ♡
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing! What colors/names are the paints you used for this video?

So creative & simple!! Great flat lay vid thanks for making this! 😍
Thanks Veronica!! 🤗🙏🏻❤️

Hi 💛 could I use any paint for this or should I use wall paint?
What size did you decide for your styling board? I have two 18”x24” canvas boards from Blick.
wow.. nice ..we will be friends
Have you tried speckling paste putty over the calk gun?
I haven’t tried that! There’s a couple ways you can go, but the reason we chose the calking is because of the flexibility of the material - to avoiding crumbling. So that would be the main thing I’d consider for durability. If you test other materials I’d love to hear how it works out! 🙂
Great video!
