    Are you feeling lucky?

    A few weeks ago I entered a giveaway on our friend Katie’s blog, Little House Of Four, and I won. My winnings consisted of Katie’s favorite craft supplies. We thought this was such a fun way to thank her readers, that Erin and I were inspired to hold a very similar giveaway to show all of you our appreciation for your loyalty.

    Trashed Corkboard Gets Makeover

    Corkboard 8

    Back in April when Erin was visiting, you might have caught a glimpse of this garbage picking photo from this post or on Instagram (@erinejd and @emilyejd1.)

    Trash Picker

    Well, in this photo I am rescuing a corkboard. As soon as I saw this baby, I knew with the right makeover she would be perfect for my oldest son’s bedroom.

    corkboard 5

    Without too much of a plan in mind, I got to work.

    Materials

    Discarded corkboard
    220 grit sand paper
    Minwax English Walnut Stain
    Burlap – I had a large piece left over from another project
    Push pins- I picked up a pack at Lowes for $1.34

    Corkboard 3

    First, I sanded down the frame of the bulletin board with 120 grit sandpaper and wiped it clean.

    Next, I brushed on Minwax English Walnut Stain with a natural bristle brush, making sure to wipe off any excess with a rag. Once it was dry, I applied a coat of Minwax Polycrylic.

    Dining Table 6

    After the frame was dry, I cut out a piece of burlap that was just slightly larger than the cork area of the board.

    Corkboard 2

    Then, I folded the edges of the burlap under itself and secured it to the cork with push pins. I continued placing the pins about ½ inch apart all around the boarder, being sure to tuck the burlap along the way.

    Corkboard 1

    Finally, it was complete and ready for use.

    Corkboard 4

    I am in love! It fits the style of my son’s vintage airplane bedroom so well. Stay tuned to see more updates for this room soon!

    Corkboard 6

    What room/rooms are you working on in your home?
