Corkboard Creations

Looking to delve into the realm of crafting with corkboard? Looking for a creative way to decorate your room? Well, I got some ideas for you!

Needed materials:

  • Corkboard! (Depending on what you have you can alter the craft sizes or materials)
  • Markers, pens, pencils
  • Magazines, newspapers or anything to cut pictures/lettering from
  • Stickers
  • Posters of some kind
  • Any paper, designed, colored or plain
  • Any extra add-ons, stick-ons or creative mediums you want to use
  • Glue, hot glue, any type of designed or clear/painters tape
  • Scissors
  • Any paint you might use (preferably acrylic)

Directions:

  1. Get your corkboard out and think about what you want to make…I’m serious. Look at it while it’s still blank and un-used and think about what it could be or what you want it to be.
  2. Go through any magazines, newspapers or journals you have to cut up and find pieces of pictures, full pictures, lettering, singular letters or anything else you like from them and cut it out. You can draw borders around it once it’s on the corkboard, leave it with no borders, or glue paper to the back of it to give it a nice frame. You could also glue letters to a paper or something to form any words.
  3. Get out the glue, tape, and pins and start creating! Use different colors to make a theme! As you can see in the second picture, my main color was pastel pink so I used different accent colors like purple and used pictures that had some of those colors in it. In some parts I both painted the corkboard itself, and used pictures to fill other space. I stuck stickers around in different directions and places to compliment other pieces of the corkboard.

***Another thing I did was use my hobbies and lots of Bible verses and quotes to inspire my corkboard creations.

In the last picture below, I took an old calendar piece and glued corkboard to the top of it. I stuck pins in the bottom part and now I use it as a cute jewelry holder!
