I had this horrible open space in my kitchen, and I had no clue what to hang there. So of course I searched ol’ faithful Pinterest, and found some wonderful ideas on how to revamp your old cork board!
I really love the simplicity in this cute idea… BUT … I could not for the life of me get my pins straight so this project was quickly thrown out the window.
So I decided to use a little creativity of my own! I knew I had some burlap laying around… so here is my version of a DIY-Photo Board:
Revamp Your Old Cork Board
Before I glued my material to my cork board, I ironed it first. Then took some spray adhesive and sprayed the cork and smoothed my fabric on top of it. Pretty simple…right!?!
I love this material! I found it at Jo-Ann Fabrics for $1.99 yd. Score!
Then you can get the trusty ol’ glue gun out and start wrapping your corners and gluing to the back of the cork board.
One of your final steps is to cut the burlap in 3 inch strips, and start gluing and wrapping, gluing and wrapping. This was probably the most time consuming because of the cutting and gluing of the burlap.
I added this bow, which I think adds the finishing touches! Burlap is pretty easy to work with, just a little messy. If you want to avoid the mess, you can first wash it, then iron it. (Just expect a mess in your dryer:))
So if you have any questions on how to revamp your old cork board, or if this tutorial makes no sense to you please shoot me a line! I hope you enjoyed this simple DIY-Photo board today!?!
