It's been a while since I've done a tutorial, so I thought I would give 5 tips on how to make the perfect inspiration board...
Get the right board: Pick out the right size for whatever room you want to put it in, and make sure the frame matches. I painted my frame, but I also love a simple black. You can get a normal cork board at basically any craft store.
Gather photos/quotes: I went onto my Pinterest profile and chose some photos to print out. I also went through my old magazines and ripped out some gorgeous photos to pin on. You could also use photos of yourself + friends/family.
Pick out the right pins: The pins that you choose are really important, because the wrong ones could make it look really tacky. I went for simple pink pins with mine..
Go 3D: I put lights through my board for Christmas, but there are so many DIY's like this pom-pom garland, or make a garland from these donuts. Go through your old things and find stuff to put on it like washi tape and jewellery.
Be creative: Really just do whatever you want with your board. I always save old tickets, business cards, and post cards to put on my board.

What a fun way to plan out your new year too- I could see using a map as the base image and pinning pictures on the map background to plan a trip!
