I have always wanted an inspiration board- you know, a cork board but prettier,maybe in a frame, so I finally got around to making one for my kitchen. I bought a 16 x 20 frame- unfortunately, I haven't found one big enough at GW! I then bought a roll of cork. It's thin but it's a pretty big roll -2 feet x 4 feet, so I'll be able to make some other things with the leftover. All I did was empty the glass from the frame, and measured the opening , so the cork fits snugly into the frame! I used an exacto knife and because the cork was thin, cutting it was not a problem! I actually doubled up the cork so a thumbtack would have something to get ahold of!! I used spray adhesive on the cardboard that came in the frame. After the spray adhesive got abit more sticky, I pressed the cork onto the cardboard.
It fit perfectly into the frame. I hung it on the kitchen door and voila!! I finally have my inspiration board. Once my craft room becomes a reality, this baby will be up there, but for now, it will be in the kitchen where I can play around with all my inspirational pics!!Yahoo!! Well, take care, gotta fly- Claire
Looks great!
