Modern Medley Colored Cork Board

Great news – my videos are back. After a break due to camera problems I think I’ve finally got it figured out. So here is my latest project that I’ve been wanting to share with you.

adding color to corkboards-001

I created this Colored Cork Board as part of my daughter’s message center for above her dorm room desk. When I started this project I figured I’d just use the cork board as it was but then I really wasn’t happy with the look – so after a little experimenting I came up with this technique for Adding Color to Cork Boards. It’s a lot of fun – so why not check it?

I finished up my Modern Medley Cork Board by decorating it and then added some push pins to hang things with. I made these push pins using some of our Modern Medley Designer Series Paper that I added to our little Bottle Caps (from the Spring Catalog) that I had laying around my studio. Then I just topped the Designer Series Paper with a little of our Crystal Effects allowed them to dry and Voila’ – A cork board that I’m my daughter is tickled with.

Here is a close up of the focal point.
