Bulletin Board
5:10 PM
Just a quick little thrift store make over. I wanted a little bulletin board to hold all our grocery lists, coupons, mini calendar in the kitchen because it's a pet peeve of mine to have crap all over the fridge. I do have papers and reminders, and it just bugs me, so hopefully some of it can move over here on the board.
I bought this...thing for $1.00 at a thrift store.
I think it was supposed to be a calendar holder.
I needed a bulletin board for the kitchen, so I thought this would work.
I got a roll of cork at the craft store.
I realized the cork is really thin and not wide enough for the frame.
So I cut a layer of cardboard to go in first, so the push pins would have something to stick in under the cork.
To attach the cork, I trimmed it to fit the frame, and then used hot glue to attach it to my cardboard.
*You can see I had to paint the sides on the cardboard where the cork wasn't wide enough.
Finished!
I had a picture hanger I nailed on the back and hung it on the wall.
Not that fancy or creative, but a simple upgrade to help organize.
