Natalie & Christopher in Germany

Hey there!

We are Natalie and Christopher. We blog about life in the suburbs of Orlando, FL with no kids and one dog. Thanks for checking in.

Fabric covered cork board

A few months ago my most likely future sister in law, Kimber, gave me a giant cork board. I had been eyeing fabric covered cork boards on Pinterest for a while so I was super excited to try making one. So I immediately went out and bought some fabric and upholstery pins, and promptly procrastinated working on my cork board for several months.

My "office" has been kind of a depressing place since we moved in, so in an effort to make my home "office" look a little more like a room and less like a storage facility I decided to get on with my cork board project.


I sprayed the cork board with spray adhesive and then stretched the fabric over it and patted it down. Then I poked the upholstery pins in the edge of the board, and TADA!

After I got it back in my office I realized that it was missing a hanger on the back so I have it on the edge of my desk propped up against the wall for now. I also still need to make pretty push pins. I bought grey flowers to glue onto the ends of push pins but it looked kind of funny, so I'll have to play around with that a little more.
