I often lose track of important papers; invitations, emails, orders, plans, only to be found after a mad dash and a flurry of everything flying everywhere until the thing is found. After nearly loosing an important receipt, I remembered something my sister has in her room to remember important papers: a large piece of cardboard, or that's how it looks at first, pinned to the wall. But it actually is a very cleverly thought out and cheap bulletin board.
Spur of the moment, I made one myself, and should you find a need for easily pin-able wall space on a budget, this shouldn't take more than fifteen minutes of your time to get acceptable results.
You will need:
cardboard
duct tape
some kind of box cutter
string
something to mark with
some thumbtacks
hot glue (actually it's optional but preferred)

This will be your main material, so you may end up needing a lot! Alternatively, if you have a lot of wall space and/or aren't sure how big you want your board to be, take a side of a box and plan for a board half that size, like I did here.
If you find yourself running out of room later on, you can make smaller strips to add to the wall next to the original. Interior design majors, this is your permission to go nuts. The great thing about cardboard is that it's flexible in this way.
