How To Make a Vision Board With Felt Right Tiles

 

How to Create a Vision Board: Depict the Future You Wish to Create

Vision boards can be used as a catch-all term to describe any type of board used to pin ideas via notes, drawings, images, or other forms of physical media. Dream boards, mood boards, inspiration boards, and goal-setting vision boards are all flavors of the same thing.

Above all, your vision board should be deeply personal, embodying and inspiring your particular goals and tastes. Once your vision board has focus, gather images and symbols from a multitude of sources, incorporating color, texture, humor, and more. In fact, the board itself should be a source of inspiration and joy.

Felt Right helps you design your vision board, or visualization board, with customizable felt tiles you can arrange in ways that align with your goals. You can post inspirational quotes, affirmations, and photography on your vision board, and the board itself can symbolize what you want to achieve.

For example, if your goal is to climb a mountain, your vision board background could be a felt mountain pattern. If your team is visualizing growth, your vision board could be an upward arrow. Or if your vision is to learn to SCUBA dive, you could choose pinnable felt tiles in aqua or coral so that even the background color represents your goals. 

You can also create multiple vision boards for different areas of your life. For example, one board can promote financial freedom, while another can focus on serenity and acceptance. Separating other areas of your life helps you organize your thoughts and differentiate goals.

Steps to Creating a Great Felt Tile Vision Board

While there are ways to create online vision boards, a digital vision board is no substitute for the real thing. A vision board is a visual representation of your dreams and goals; when you create a physical vision board, it feels more real. When you use a physical vision board, you have the freedom to create instantly and see your vision transmitted onto the board. The tactility of dealing with tangible objects is unbeatable, so here's how you get started.

Tools and Accessories for a Vision Board

• Felt Acoustic Board: Felt acoustic tiles, like these from Felt Right, are ideal for vision boards because it's easy to pin objects like images onto them. 
• Craft Supplies: High-quality craft supplies like markers, stickers, and decorative tapes can add visual appeal and help categorize goals.
• Photo Printer: A compact photo printer can be handy for printing out specific images directly from your smartphone or computer.
• Bulletin Board or Magnetic Board: Offers a flexible base for attaching items and allows for easy changes.
• Digital Apps: Apps like Pinterest for inspiration, Canva for designing elements, or Trello for organizing digital vision boards.

Create a List of the Goals You Want to Achieve 

To make a vision board, you have to understand what you want out of life. The first step to understanding what drives you is getting your thoughts and feelings on paper. Make a list of all the things you want to accomplish, and then narrow it down to the key goal or goals you want to really focus on.

Cultivate Images and Objects 

Be on the hunt for inspiring photos, quotes, and other objects that represent your goals. Look through magazines, newspapers, catalogs, and photo albums. The internet is your best resource for affordable and accessible additions. You can also tell your friends and family about your project so they can help you find other resources. 

Curate Accurate Representations of Your Goals

After collecting materials, it’s time to narrow your selections to the most relevant symbols for your goals. It can be overwhelming trying to decide which images to use for your vision board, but it’s important to remember this should be a fun experience for you. One of the easiest ways to ensure you enjoy your vision board process is to make an event out of it with your staff or friends. 

Turn on some music, order some food, and get creative. That’s the beauty of vision boards: They let you get wild with your ambitions and start cultivating changes in your life.

Arrange Your Images and Objects on Your Felt Board 

How a vision board works is pretty simple; you look at it to remind you of your goals and aspirations. It should help you stay on the path that leads to your goals, so the vision board should be clear and promote a sense of flow and ease. You do this by laying out your images carefully.

That’s one of the reasons why using Felt Right tiles, rather than poster boards,  for your vision boards makes so much sense. Our felt tiles’ easy pinnability lets you arrange your vision board in any way you want. You can also change them any time you like without needing sticky glue or tape. Simply pin your images to the board and watch your dreams come to life. 

Additional Ideas For Customizing Your Vision Board 

Your vision board is personal, and nothing says personal like a fully customized vision board. While the previous section explained the basics of making your own vision board, we're taking a step further here.

Include Inspirational Quotes and Affirmations

Incorporate motivational quotes and affirmations that resonate with your goals and aspirations. These can serve as daily reminders of your purpose and intentions.

Make It Interactive

Consider using magnets or Velcro to attach elements you can move or replace as your goals evolve. This keeps your vision board flexible and adaptable to your changing aspirations.

Incorporate Sensory Elements

Vision boards are all about seeing, but adding different textures and fabrics can help the vision board feel more real. For example, if your vision board is for a specific trip to an outdoor space, you can add leaves or flowers to your board.

In addition to textures, smell can be incredibly impactful for a vision board. Placing aromatic elements near your vision board, like essential oils or scented candles, creates a much richer, layered sensory experience.

Use of Color and Lighting

Using colors strategically to organize goals can evoke specific emotions. Color psychology can play a significant role in motivation and focus. Positioning your vision board in a well-lit area or using spotlights to highlight certain areas can enhance visibility and make certain elements pop. 

Regular Review and Reflection

While you can adjust your vision board as much or as little as you like, setting aside some time every once in a while to review your vision board allows you to reflect on your progress and adjust your goals. If you notice yourself straying away from your goals, this periodic reflection can help you refocus on your priorities. 

Vision Board Ideas for Specific Manifestations 

If you're looking for vision board inspiration, here are a few ideas for vision boards to help you achieve specific goals or make significant life changes.

Positivity

One of the most common vision boards is the positivity board. One of the best aspects of this vision board is that you don’t have to be too specific with your images. Simply choose positive images that promote happiness or inspirational quotes that make you smile. 

Financial Prosperity 

If you are saving up for something in your future — whether it’s the near future, like a vacation, or far off in the future, like retirement — a vision board is a great way to keep focused on your finances in an inspiring way. This type of vision board can continue to be added to as the reality of your achievement becomes closer and clearer.  

Connecting With Nature 

To connect with nature further, incorporate objects such as feathers, flowers, leaves, or small seashells. If you’re feeling a particularly strong pull toward nature, consider Felt Right’s nature designs, such as the Shaded Mountain pattern or the Sunset Gradient design. 

Tying It All Together

Making a vision board should be a fun, motivating activity from start to finish. That’s why Felt Right is here, providing an attractive and productive board to manifest your dreams into reality. Our felt tiles make installing your background simple and fast, taking no longer than an afternoon, depending on your design, so you can get creative with your collage of photos, quotes, objects, and the overall design of your vision board.
