Yesterday we finally got around to making the corkboard for my Disney pins:
No in-progress pictures, but I can tell you how we did it.
You will need:
-a picture frame (just the frame, no glass, backing, etc.) - we used 16x20
-piece of plywood cut to fit inside of frame
-rolled cork
-rotary cutter or exacto knife
-industrial strength adhesive (if this isn't something that you just have lying around your house, I'm sure that other glue will work just fine)
-hot glue
First, we rolled out the cork and cut a piece that was about an inch larger on all sides than the plywood (extra room in case we messed up gluing). Then we brought them outside and sprayed the adhesive on both. The way this adhesive works, we had to wait a few minutes for it to dry before sticking them together. Once we'd done that, we trimmed the extra cork off around the plywood. Then just put some hot glue around the edges, pop into the frame, and ta-da! A much prettier corkboard than you will ever buy at the store.
I haven't picked out a place to hang it yet, but hopefully I will soon.. Can't wait to have all of my pins on display! :)
The bad storms last night meant that classes were cancelled today.. good thing I checked the news before I rushed out the door!
