Bulletin Board by Megan

We had a large blank wall in our kitchen near our garage door. I had seen some great bulletin board ideas on Pinterest over the past few months, and decided it was time to create one for myself.  Here are the pins that inspired me...

The Crafting Chicks Stenciled Bulletin Board

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.
