Cork Boards for the Sewing Room

So this winter I've been working on a couple sewing projects.  One of which was just getting my sewing room organized enough to be able to work on projects in it. I made two little ways to organize patterns I've picked up and all the spools of thread I've accumulated.  Today, we're focusing on the cork boards because I LOVE them.

What you need for this project:

Corkboards 

(I used a pack of three cork hot plates from Bed, Bath and Beyond $10)

Fabrics (I used three different)

Staple Gun

Hammer

Push Pins
3 tabs off a pop can

Step 1: Cut a section of fabric big enough to cover your corkboard plus an extra 2 inches or so. 

 

Step 2: Pull the fabric around to the back of the corkboard in small sections and secure with the staple gun.

 

Step 3: Continue pulling the fabric to the back of the corkboard.  As needed, use the hammer to tap the staples in further.

Step 4: Trim any extra fabric from the back.

 

Step 5: Attach the pop can tabs to the back of the corkboard in the center.  This will be what you use to actually hang the corkboard with.  And you're done!
