Board and Batten wall decor is in, but adding a DIY wood bobbin trim will add to it! This simple DIY wood bobbin trim project not only adds a unique texture but also infuses a sense of coastal charm that is both stylish and timeless.

Our bobbins were 1/2" x 3/16" Half Rounds and they came in 3' long sections. You could choose larger bobbins if you want them to stand out more.

Materials Needed: wooden bobbins, a board and batten wall (or the materials to create one - check out our tutorial here), wood glue, sandpaper, paint or stain, and a measuring tape.

Begin by measuring the length of your board and batten sections where you want to install the bobbin trim and then cut them.

Once you have prepared your bobbins, sand them lightly to remove any rough edges. This step is crucial for achieving a polished finish.

Next, apply a thin layer of wood glue to the back of each bobbin and press them firmly onto the board and batten. I would also recommend using a nail gun to add a few nails to make them extra secure.

Space them evenly, allowing the trim to enhance the vertical lines of the wall while adding a playful, textured element. Allow the glue to dry completely before painting.
