Easy (and Cheap) Wall Art



Here's what I did, but you could modify as needed...

Materials:

  • 1 package of 12 x 12 cork boards (Mine came in a set of 4 from JoAnn's for $6.99. Bonus - I had a giftcard to spend so they cost me nothing out of pocket.)

  • Fabric (I used stuff I already had in my fabric stash.)

  • Duct tape (In thin strips so it is not too heavy.)

  • Foam tape for hanging (Came in the package with the cork boards.)
Directions:
1. Cut the fabric slightly larger than the cork boards.*
2. Align it how you wish and wrap around neatly and secure on the backs side with strips of duct tape. (You might be able to use hot glue, but tape seemed simpler to me. I thought it would lay flatter, too.)
3. Hang using the foam tape. I helped my husband use a meter stick/level to space them and hang them evenly above the baby crib. Works for me!

*I starched and ironed the fabric first to help it appear smooth and tight.

These are adorable! I am creatively deficient, so I really appreciate truly easy ideas. This is a good one.

wow! I'm going to give this try. DIY projects never work out too well for me, but this seems fool proof!
