Thrifty Inspiration Board
Materials
I found almost everything at the thrift store -
Corkboard (any size)
drill
fabric (I picked out a sheet for $3 at the thrift store)
staple gun
drill
pencil
scissors
push pins
elastic
Anything else you want to add on -
hooks
shelves ($3 shower rack from thrift store)
Step 1
Drill holes in wood frame where you want your hooks (if any)
Step 2
Cut a piece of fabric a little larger than your board
Step 3
Begin by stapling each corner of the fabric to the wood frame (not cork)
Step 4
Once all the corners are down, pull each of the sides of the fabric tight around the frame and staple. I found it's easiest to put one staple in the middle first and then a couple more along the sides.
Step 5
Make a small hole in the fabric where your hook holes are drilled in the wood. Screw in your hooks.
Step 6
Cut your elastic in half. Secure one end with a push pin and stretch diagnolly abour four inches. Fold elastic over and secure with push pin. Repeat with the remainder of the elastic. Follow the same steps with your other piece to create a criss-cross pattern.
Ta Da!
