When we moved into our house there were 2 very large, very ugly yellow bulletin boards attached to a hallway wall. When we painted we had them removed and in the process the frame came apart. I was getting ready to have them hauled away when we decided to recycle them into something usuable-a very cool bulletin board wall for my daughter's room.
First we cut one of them down from 4X8 to 4X6 and removed the remaining frame. Then off to the paint store to buy "bad mixes paint", (pints or quarts of paint that were not the right color). My daughter first painted the board white, then created a design using the colored paint. After it dried we reattached the frame and nailed it to the wall (to the studs) with 4 nails and WOW what a cool piece of art. She now has it covered with tons of fun drawings and other pin up stuff.
I think the board material is homesote (recycled paper) which you can get at a big box store. The paint was all acrylic latex and the frame is just some sort of trim, cut and mitered at the corners.
