Liz makes a craft organizing board: refashioned

You may remember about a year ago, I made this craft organizing board. It worked fine and I liked it, but recently, I decided it was time for change. I recovered it with new fabric, made another little catch-all box, and added more thumbtacks. I think it looks a lot nicer than the older version (even though I liked the older version a lot)! Here I'll show you how to cover a corkboard and how to attach the tabs from a soda can in order for the corkboard to be hangable.

Cut a piece of fabric that's slightly bigger than the corkboard.

Using a hot glue gun, glue the fabric to the long edges of the corkboard.

Now you're going to focus on the short edges. Fold the corners as if you were wrapping a present.

Now fold it up. Glue it down.

Now grab two soda pop top tab thingies. Three inches from the edge glue the tab with hot glue.

Cover with a strip of matching (or not matching) fabric. Glue to the board.

Now hang some stuff on it! I cut a small cardboard box and covered it in green construction paper. My scissors and rotary cutter are held up with thumbtacks, as is everything else.

It's extremely useful. Instead of rummaging around through a drawer or my sewing box, my scissors are always where I can see them. Easy and cute.

Have a great week!
