A super-chic bulletin board is something that everyone wants, and you can make a boring one look awesome yourself to save big $$$! To go with your bulletin board, you can make some cute thumbtacks to go with it.
First, the bulletin board...
Supplies: a bulletin board (wood framed: click here or here), burlap (click here), and the paint color you want (any type will do, including spray paint), spray mount (click here).
1. Paint the frame using the paint (you can cover the edges of the cork board with tape to prevent painting it, or be carefree- it will get covered).
2. Cut the burlap to fit cork board and attach it with spray mount. Ta-Da!

Now, for the tacks. You will need assorted buttons, and flat head tacks (click here).
The instructions are simple. Just attach the buttons to the flat head tacks with a hot glue gun (or elmer's glue, if you don't have a hot glue gun). Instant upgrade from boring to chic!
