Classic Corkboard with a twist
The window in my bedroom is large, which is great, but it also has a large metal empty space underneath it which was kind of blank, dull space. I decided to make a practical use of the space and turn it into a fabric covered corkboard!
There's a lack of pictures for this project because to be honest, I totally forgot and it was a very last minute project!
Materials:
This is a really simple and inexpensive way to spruce up a room. I bought one yard of fabric from Fabricland. This fabric is great because it goes perfectly with the colour scheme of my bedroom and it is also reversible with different colours on the back which is neat.
To start, I flipped the fabric with the pattern side down. I laid out the 6 cork board pieces side by side and used hot glue to stick them all together. I had to cut the bottom cork boards so that it would perfectly fit the space under the window. Then, folded the fabric like a wrapped present, folding at the corners, and used hot glue to hold it in place. I then just used simple white sticky tape to hold it up on the wall.

I think this is a great project for anyone, especially in an office or bedroom because it's not only practical but stylish!
