Look at this treasure I found at Goodwill on Saturday for $9.99.
So I decided to make a bulletin board for my kitchen/great room. The following is a list of items needed for this project:
1. Beautiful ornate frame :)
2. Corkboard
3. Spray paint (I used ivory satin from Walmart)
4. Burnt Umber craft paint
5. Hot glue gun
6. Nails and hammer
7. Tacs for bulletin board
I started off with a few coats of spray paint on my frame. After those dried completely I watered down the craft paint a lot and brushed it on. I immediately wiped it off with a paper towel. This brought out all the detail and imperfections.
Then, my hubby cut down the cork board to size and I hot glued into the frame and then added nails as well to strengthen it. That is seriously it! Hang it on the wall and enjoy! Here are some pictures

I LOVE IT!!!
I totally have a frame I could do that with too....I want to try and do a chalk board with the chalk board paint too...hmm....
What a good idea! I wanted to do half chalk board half bulletin board, but I couldn't find any slate. After I was done, I realized I could have done the spray stuff. It'll be interesting to see how if works!
Loves it!! I wonder what it would be like to have a sister that is soo crafty??? OH wait!!! Nevermind, I already know! I love it Sister!!!
p.s. chalkboard would be so darling. And the great thing about the chalkboard paint is that most of them are magnetic too!
