Being somewhat frugal, I bought a flannel sheet (less expensive than flannel yardage), then covered blue foam type insulation (about 3/4 inch thick and comes in 4 ft x 8 ft sheets). Used roofing nails - the ones that have a pre-attached plastic washer - to nail it to a wall in my sewing room. All this was on my former home, I don't have wall space in my current house. I miss my design wall...
