DIY Corkboard

 

I have a corkboard on my desk and it really helps me be more organised but it was really plain looking and I love colour and my desk is really colourful so I thought I would DIY it and show you what I did. Obviously you can DIY it how you want to but this is how I did it (especially as I'm rubbish at DIY and anything creative).

What you need-

-Corkboard (mine's from Wilko and was only £2)

-Washi Tape

-Wrapping Paper

-Sellotape

-Scissors

-Inspirational card/quote 

-Cute push/drawing pins

-Whatever else you want to put on the corkboard e.g. post-its, images, quotes

How To Make It- 

1. With some wrapping paper (mine's from Paperchase) measure out the size of your corkboard and cut it out.

2. Stick the wrapping paper on the corkboard with sellotape- you could use glue but I found it easier to use sellotape.

3. As a border, put some cute washi tape and stick it down with sellotape (or glue) so it's extra secure as I found it un-sticks without being stuck down with tape. 

4. This is optional but you could put some washi tape around the sides. I done it on all sides apart from the bottom as mine's standing up on my desk and you won't see it so I thought there was no point.

5. In the corner put an inspirational quote and stick this with a cute push pin. 

6. Stick down all of your notes or whatever you're sticking on it with cute push pins (mine are from Wilko)

7. I find it really handy to have some extra push pins on the corkboard so I just have some spare in the corner and it's also handy.

8. At the bottom I had extra blank space so I just stuck down some stickers which matched the push pins and you can decorate however you want and whatever fits your style and theme of your desk.

That's how I DIY-ed my corkboard. I really want to do some more DIYs as I really enjoyed making this and this is actually the second DIY on my blog so I will be doing more and they will be easy ones as I can't do anything complex.
