diy {burlap cork board}

A few months ago I gave a little makeover to our bulletin board at church, a project that was inspired by this message board from Ballard Designs. I loved the simplicity and the low cost of the project and so I had been wanting to make one on a smaller scale for my own personal space. This week I finally got around to it and do I ever love the results! Want to make your own? You know you want to :)
Here are the steps...

What you'll need:
- cork board
- fabric (I used burlap but you can use whatever you like.)
- upholstery tacks (I found mine at Jo Ann Fabrics)
- scissors
- staple gun
- hammer

Cut out the fabric a few inches bigger than your board.

Staple the fabric to the back of the board.

Push the upholstery tacks around the edge of your board. I placed mine about an inch apart.

Hammer in the tacks and continue all the way around the board.

And that's it! Easy right? Oh, and I also glued some old buttons to thumb tacks to make pretty pins for my board. 

Happy Friday!
