How do you know you are a home blogger? You spend more time on a weekend after you just moved in on projects you couldn't get out of your head rather than unpacking boxes!
I was walking through Hobby Lobby the other day and spied a really cute cork board. Actually I saw a couple - they were all screen printed with these really adorable patterns. And it got me thinking that I could probably pull something off for a lot less since I picked up this cute frame on sale there a couple weeks ago for $5. Here it is all touched up and gorgeous!
So I grabbed a piece of foam board on sale for a $1.99 and then used some cork from a roll that I had from another project.
I then cut to size and glued together with a hot glue gun. Finally - I took a stencil and sponge brush and dabbed some paint on. (Note - you may want to clean your stencil in between applications so you don't end up with smudges!)

Voila - finished project!
$5.99 for the frame and $1.99 for the foam board. Now if I could only find the box with the picture hanging stuff in it! Oh well - I will hang it another day! Have you ever customized a cork board?

Very nice! I'll have to remember this...I have a roll of that cork in my garage just waiting to be used.
I'm pretty sure I saw those same cork boards at HobLob and thought the same thing :) And weren't they selling for like $40? I did what you did and went home and made my own. Yours turned out beautiful! I love the motif you chose.
Isn't this creative!?!? I love this!!! It would be perfect for my office ... thanks for inspiring me! I'm about 1/2 way finished with my bathroom remodel, and I hope you can stop by and see the progress. :) Take care! Artie
Great idea!!!! Love it!!!

Very cleaver and I love the stencils on the cork....makes the whole thing!!!!
I have not done one ...yet...I have one waiting in my closet for a treatment like this!
I always like seeing when somebody has the vision to take something to the next level. You have it.
Thanks for sharing.

Love it! I made a Ballard Designs copycat corkboard a few months ago... I love it.. I keep my idea on it. Thanks for sharing it at the POPP.
This is looking so good. And it's very easy to make. Everyone of us can make it. I will give it a try and this one will look beautiful on my stair wall. Now it's time to avail https://www.vfixphonesandtech.com/ for more information.
