A Project

   


I took this, this, and this,
and easily made



this
(below),



and turned this clutter

 into (somewhat...) decorative clutter.


haha.
Such an accomplishment! =)

It was easy and fairly inexpensive. I found the frame (with picture) for only $5 at Goodwill and the fabric was on sale at Hobby Lobby (a yard for about $4.60). The corkboard I got was $17. I didn't really shop around- I'm sure I could've found a better deal.

I popped the picture and the glass out of the frame, and trimmed the corkboard to fit. I asked Avery if he'd trim it for me.
I don't think such a large saw was exactly necessary... =)

I smeared some tacky glue on the front of the board in some spots, laid it facedown down on the wrong side of the fabric, and then folded over and glued the fabric to the back. Easy peasy!

  1. Very nice job guys! I have been meaning to make one of these for quite some time...2nd hand stores and garage sales make me smile :)....have you thought of making fabric postcards? They are alot of fun to decorate, the post office has limitations though. Google it. If you decide to make some let me know & I can explain...perhaps we could send one to each other.
