DIY CORKBOARD

Hello friends!

As mentioned here, my kids and I made cork-boards from their old armoire doors. This was a totally low budget project, costing less than $20!!!


Supplies used:
7 cork-board tiles
Ruler
Black marker
Scissors/Knife
Acrylic paint (pink, white and blue)
Sencils
Glittering stickers
Hot glue gun + glue






Using a ruler, we marked the cork to fit inside the frames of the doors. Then cut. Three tiles were short, and four didn't quite fit, so I decided to cut two panels and place them in between each tile.



We, then painted the cork tiles white, and let them dry.



We then painted 2 panels pink and 2 blue. On the pink, we added glittering stickers, and decided against adding them on the blue ones because they looked really girly.


We then stenciled my son's initials on his corkboard and a floral pattern on my daughter's.



We glued the cork tiles onto the doors, using a hot glue gun. And VOILA!!!




Have a fabulous Wednesday!
