Little by little I have been organizing and decorating my craft room and its coming out really nice! I am looking for inexpensive ways to decorate my room. All my projects have been easily less than $5.
The other day my husband and I went to Savers in search of items to use in my craft room. My husband found this old and simple cork board and bought it for me. Its a good size cork board, but poor thing it needed a huge makeover!
So with a little help of fabric, ribbon, glue gun , i love you glue gun :) ..... and buttons, it went from this.......

to this.......... What do you think? Pretty isn't it??
Here is a tutorial of how simple it is to make this project.
I bought this beautiful fabric at Hobby Lobby. I love scrolls if you can tell!
I measured the board and cut the fabric. Make sure you leave an extra 2 inches to staple the fabric.
Staple the fabric all the way around.
I looked for some buttons and flowers to dress up the cork board a little more.
I used buttons, and glass beads to make push pins. So easy... and so cute...
and wah-laaaahhh.. you have a beautiful, elegant flirty corkboard! The brown ribbon was a little extra to keep my push pins there. Its easier to see them and they dress up the board really cute! What do you think? Cute?? Go ahead, I dare you to make one! Its so simple! :)
