DIY Framed Fabric Corkboard

This was an EASY craft that took me about 30 minutes to do. And the best part IT COST ME NOTHING! I either had everything or got everything FREE from my Buy Nothing group on Facebook.

What you will need:

Old Frame, glass not needed (if it doesn't have a cardboard back, you will need cardboard the size of the frame)

Corkboard (I used a roll I got free on buy nothing)

Fabric (large enough for frame)

hot glue gun

Iron

Scissors

knife

Staple gun

(optional spray paint)

Step-by-step directions:

First, pick out a frame that you want (see frame above). If you want a large pin board then get a large frame, if you want medium, etc. Remember you can spray paint your frame any color you want so if shopping at the thrift store, craigslist, or have an old one lying around you can make it new again!

I found a frame I liked and did not need to spray paint.

Second, if you are spray painting do this step first. No need to take out glass since going to discard. Spray paint, dry and go to next step.

If not spray painting, take out old picture from your frame. If have backing rip off and discard. (This photo was $50, I got it free!)
