I had an old frame in the basement that was not being used for anything at the time. I spray painted it black.
I headed to Lowe's for some corkboard tiles. They had a pack of four 12 by 12 inch tiles for approximately $8.50. I needed a pack and a half for this project.
I then used the piece of cardboard that at been in the back of the frame as a backing for the cork tiles. I used spray adhesive to attach them to the cardboard.
After the tiles were attached I used a stencil that we had bought for a previous project to put a design on the tiles. I used acrylic craft paint on the cork tiles for stenciling.
Using the tacky strips that came with the tiles I adhered the tiles on the cardboard to the wall. I then hung the frame around the tiles. This will be a great place for hanging my pictures, announcements, invitations, coupons, etc. I'm excited that I made this with many things that I already had around the house.
Total Cost $12.75 for the cork tiles from Lowe's
Thanks for checking out the latest project.

I absolutely LOVE the stencil in the middle. It's brilliant. I might have to steal this idea! It makes it look so much more interesting.
