quirky corky...

...I'm sorry for that title. I really am.

The other day, I went to Target and saw THE cutest cork board I had ever seen in my life. I would have bought it, but it was a hefty $30 for a little tiny cork board. No thank you. So, like the true crafter I am (hah) I decided that I could make one myself.

So, I snatched up some cork tiles and got to work. I'm lovin' the finished result, so I thought I'd share a little tutorial for you.

Step one: tape off your stripes. I probably should have used a ruler, but I kind of just eyeballed it. I'm lazy.
Step two: choose a few paint colors you love and start paining the stripes.

Step three: pull the tape off and admire it/realize it needs a little more color.
Step four: tape it off again...Become frustrated when you realize the tape no longer sticks how you would like it to, but paint it anyway. Resulting in the purple bleeding (shed a few tears, if you feel the need)

And there you have it, your very own  customized cork board. Yummm.

I hung mine on my back door so that I could stick things on there that I would normally forget. Like my grocery list. Or...A little friendly reminder for Mr. Oops! I Craft My Pants.

This project was super easy. Let me know if you attempt it. I would LOVE to see it.
