DIY Cork Board
Easy DIY projects that result in useful items are the best. This project is super easy and makes for a really unique message center. If you drink wine and save your corks you are in luck! If you don’t you can easily buy corks at most hobby-type stores. You need a picture frame (you can score one from the thrift store) grab a glue gun and some black acrylic paint. Paint the entire frame and even the area where the picture goes in black. Let it dry then arrange the corks into a uniform pattern. Start gluing each cork into place. You can also cover your entire wall with a corkboard and turn it into a message center.
This idea is great for any room. You can also add a designer touch with some kitchen design ideas. It is a fun and easy! You can even get the kids in on the act.
