Personalized Cork Board

I picked up a magnetic cork board at Jo-Ann's last week for around $8 with my coupon.  I wasn't sure what I was going to exactly do with it. But, I had never seen one before. I am probably just out of the loop there.  


Then I figured I would make this for my friend for a just because gift.  I took the magnets that came with the cork board and added some burlap rosettes I made.  I took the piece of burlap I removed when cutting it and adhered it to the top. Then I cut out some small pennant shapes from a fabric piece I had lying around. I knew she would like the olive green color because she chose that as a paint color in her home.
I cut out a "B" on my Silhouette and placed it on the board along with the rosettes. I also added a strip of lace along the bottom of the board. I was happy with how this turned out. The total cost was around $8.00, because I already had the other materials in my craft stash.
My friend really liked it and I was happy to make it for her.  I'm running out of wall space in my house or I would make another cork board for me!

Thanks for stopping by!
