D.I.Y. So Tack-y

D.I.Y. Fabric Cork Board 

My mom and I found an old cork board over the summer when looking through old storage. I thought it would be fun to dress it up with some patterned fabric to tie in with my dorm color scheme (navy and white).  

1. What you need. 

• navy and white striped fabric 
• fabric scissors 
• white thumb tacks 
• cork board  
• pom pom ribbon 

2. Applying the fabric.

• cut the fabric to fit the area of the board with an additional inch border
• stretch fabric and pin into place 
• pin approximately every three inches (or as needed) 
• fold over diagonally so each corner can have a snug fit 

 3. Adding the Ribbon.

• pin one end of the ribbon on the back of the board 
• stretch across making and inch border 
• secure ribbon on the other end on the back of the board
• pin five times across the long end and four across the short end to ensure a tight seal  

4. Enjoy!

• perfect for placing over your desk
• accessorize with pictures
• write yourself reminders 

I hope this inspires you all to get crafty.
