CORK STYLE FRAME

Who knew that you could make neat things out of cork?!
Today i made a cork bulletin board! This was lots of fun and i really enjoy the result of it.

Supplies needed:
-Old Frame
-Staple gun
-X-acto knife
-Pliers
-Cork
-Cover for behind the cork
-Nails if needed

How to make:
First what i did was find an old picture frame that i don't use or hang anymore. Then from there i took out the picture/photo and took out the glass as well. To do this i had to use my Pliers.

After doing that, you line up the cork with your frame. Next you take an X-acto knife and cut off any extra cork that you don't need.

So once you have the cork you must find a way for it to stick to your frame.... i had many issues in figuring out how i could do this, when all of a sudden a perfect idea popped into my head! A staple gun. Staple the piece of cork onto the frame.

This project was cheap and fun. The only thing i needed to actually buy was some cork. I bought the cork from the dollar store for about $2.00. In doing this project i learnt that you have to be very exact in cutting the cork, it may involve some measuring. As well as to be careful with the X-acto knife because its very sharp! 

I highly suggest you try it out, its perfect for putting reminders, or christmas cards you will be getting in the mail sometime! 

Thanks,
