2020 Kanban Board

I redid my kanban board for 2020! I thought about just switching out the word of the year, but my old board was bothering me. I'd used washi tape to make the lines for the board and they were crooked. Argh! You can see it here in my original post about the first version of my kanban board.

My first idea was to cut long lines of vinyl on my Silhouette Cameo for the lines, but that was a massive fail. Despite doing everything the way the tutorials and troubleshooting videos said to do it, my vinyl went askew and the blade was cutting everywhere! I wrecked several runs of material before I said enough.

Plan 2 was to cut 12 inch strips of vinyl and line them up. The cutting mats for the Cameo are 12x12 and they stay in place. I was able to get my strips cut, but lining them up on the wall didn't work really well. I'd have them touching and the next thing I knew, there was a gap. That would bother me as much as the crooked washi did. It was time for Plan C

Plan C is the version that worked. (See image above.) I used a fun font to cut out the names of each section and put them on the wall along with some small, zig-zag dividers to better outline the space. I deliberately put them crooked. :-) After that, I added my phrase of the year in a different font and color to delineate it from the rest.

In retrospect, I'm not sure the fun font was my best choice, but I'm not redoing it again. Maybe for 2021.
