When I went dorm shopping, I didn't see a bulletin board that I liked. I wanted to do something unique, so Mama and I made some custom cork boards yesterday! They turned out super cute, and I got to pick the pattern we used (finding cute coral-and-navy things is super hard!). Here's how we did it:
Supplies: Cork boards of any size, an inexpensive pillow case, scissors, and a stapler.
Step 1: Cut the seams on one side and the end of the pillow case so all the fabric is laying out and place the cork board on the pillow case.
Step 2: Cut the pillow case so that there is about 1"-2" of fabric showing on each side of the board.
Step 3: Fold over two opposite sides and secure with three staples. Make sure to pull the fabric tight so that there are no wrinkles on the front side of the board.
Step 4: Before doing the other two sides, fold a mini hospital corner (like making a bed) on each of the four corners and secure with staples. If you don't know how to make a hospital corner, hold the corner of the fabric up and fold it over to make a triangle.
Step 5: Secure the other two sides with staples
Ta da!
I love them, and they match the rest of the coral-and-navy items my roommate and I chose!
Have a lovely day!
XO,
Carson
