Making a Display Board From an Old Frame
What You Need:
- An old frame, any size
- cork board
- fabric, at least two inches all-around bigger than the frame you chose
- paint
- staple gun
- exact-o knife
- ruler/straight edge
Step One:
Measure the inside of the frame to figure out how much cork-board you need to cut. Draw a line with a pencil on the cork-board according to your measurements and cut, using the exact-o knife.
Step Two:
Wrap the fabric around the cut-out cork-board and staple into the back using the staple gun. Make sure your staples are the right size; if they are too long, they will poke through the front.
Step Three:
Paint the frame in whatever color you choose. Wait for it to dry.
Step Four:
Flip the dry farme over and pop the fabric-covered cork-board into place. Using the staple gun, attach the cork-board to the frame.
Done!
That's it! Now you have a lovely display board. Stick some tacks in to hold lists, photos, reminders, or jewelry. Use a big frame for a display board at a craft sale (like we did!), or use a small frame for organize smaller collections.

An Alternate Idea...
Instead of covering the cork-board in fabric, you can always leave it as is. I made this cute little bulletin board a couple days ago (though I glued it into place, instead of stapling it). You can see it in our shop by clicking on the photo or HERE.
