What I used to make my vision board

People asked, so here it is. Nothing on this page is sponsored. I bought all of it myself.

One note before you order anything: the supplies are not the point. The point is blocking off an evening, lighting the candle, putting the playlist on, and actually sitting down with scissors. You could do this with one magazine and a glue stick.

The base

What everything else sticks to.

White foam board, 16 x 20, pack of 5

Get the five pack. You want room to make mistakes, and you want extras so you can do this with your friends.

Neenah cardstock, 12 x 12, 18 colors

For backing images so they sit slightly raised off the board. Small thing, big difference in how finished it looks.

Elmer's CraftBond glue sticks, 8 count

Glue, so everything stays put.

The images

You can cut these out of your own magazines. I did not want to hunt, so I bought books made for this.

The finishing

The part that makes it look like something you made on purpose.

For borders, for taping things down without committing, for filling awkward gaps.

Gold and silver paint pens

For writing directly on the board. Numbers, dates, the thing you are not ready to say out loud yet.

Glitter glue, for texture and pizazz.

Textured scrapbook paper and mesh fabric

Full transparency, I did not end up using these. I am keeping them because the texture is the one thing a printed image cannot give you, and the next board is getting some.

The setup

No links for these two. They matter more than the supplies do.

A candle

Any candle you actually like. I could not tell you the brand of mine, which is sort of the point. Light it before you start, not halfway through.

whatever you already have

Veuve Clicquot

We drank champagne while we did this. It turned a craft night into an occasion, and the occasion is what makes you remember the board later.

The playlist

This is the part I would not skip. The board took a few hours. The music is what made those hours feel like something other than a craft project.
