How to Organize and Style a Cork board

I'm the type of person who likes to have

everything neat and orderly with

a sense of style.

 

So when our cork board was getting out of control,

it was time to step in and clean it up!

 

This is how bad our cork board had gotten.

 

 

It was hard to try and find what you were looking for.

There were things hiding underneath of things!

It was a MESS!

 

Let's get organized!

 

First, remove everything from your cork board and sort it out.

You want to start with a clean slate.

 

 

 

I purchased some burlap with a design on it to give our cork board a little style.

 

 

Measure your cork board.  Our cork board is 17" x  23".

If you plan on using material, cut your material 4" wider and longer than your cork board.

I cut ours 21" x 27".

Working on a smooth surface,  lay your material right side down with your

corkboard facing down and centered onto your material. Sorry I forgot to take a picture of this.

 

Wrap your material around the backside of the cork board and staple into place using a staple

gun, making sure to pull your material tight as you go.  Work the top, bottom, and side first before

working the corners.  Once you have the 4 sides completely stapled into place, grab a corner

and pull down tight toward the center and staple into place.

 

 

Flip it over and your ready to get organized.

 

I purchased a few chalkboard label from Hobby Lobby to organize mine.

 

 

In order to hang them on the cork board, I added a thumb tack to the clothespin

using my hot glue gun.

 

 

I found this container to use also.

 

 

This is what our new styled and organized cork board looks like now.

 

 

So Much Better!

 

That's it for this week.

 

Until Next Time,
