I found this corkboard at the Thrift Store for $1.98. I took this picture after I took the frame off of it, but you get the point that it's just a normal old corkboard...with a few rough spots.I covered the corkboard with pink fabric and hot glued it on the back. Spray painted the frame black and put it back on the board. I think I even attached it back on with hot glue because it just needed a little hold to make it stick back around it.
I had so many different ideas for this board, but that always seems to change in the midst of doing my projects, go figure.
I ended up using bottle caps (& no I'm not drinking while I'm 6 months pregnant),
covering them with a little circle of zebra fabric, with hot glue of course, and then using hot glue again to attach a push pin to the back. Works great! I think I may add some zebra fabric flowers on the tops of some just for fun. But for now, I like that my girls have a place to display their artwork. It used to be taped to my bedroom door every morning. Not that that wasn't sweet, but now they can keep it up longer.
how cute is that!!! love it. i need to something similar for my art room!!
