A Wee Project

I have this little piece of cork board that I’ve carried with me throughout college, and today I decided that it needed an upgrade. I had a really cool piece of paper printed with a wood pattern left over from a calendar and thought it would make a great veneer. Here’s how the project went.

Materials

One sheet of cork board:

One sheet of decorative paper:

A bunch of photos that need displaying:

A handful of clear thumbtacks:

Scissors and a pen:

Step 1: Trace the cork board

This step’s easy. Lay the cork board on the back of your paper and trace it with a pen. Step one complete.

Step 2: Cut out the shape

Use scissors to cut out the shape that you traced on your paper.

Here’s what the paper looked like after being cut:

Beautiful.

Step 3: Line it all up

Line up your paper and cork board, ensuring that it’s perfect fit.

What do you know. A perfect fit.

Step 4: Tack photos

To complete this project simply tack your photos to the cork board and then hang. The effect is subtle, but a nice alternative to the cork board showing through.
