What do an old picture frame and wine corks have in common? They can be combined to make a desk-friendly corkboard! After finding an old frame for $.75 at the MSU Surplus Store and taking a collection of donated wine corks, I made something creative and useful.
What you need: Tacky Glue (a hot glue gun would work as well)
About 40 corks
Back of an old picture frame
Paint - if you want it.
Step 1 (optional): Paint the frame backing. Mine was in good condition so I didn't need to, but the corks won't cover everything, so if you want a splash of color, go ahead and paint it!
Step 2: Lay out your corks in the design you want. This gives you a better idea how they will fit before you start gluing them
Step 3: Start gluing! I just used a line of glue on each cork. Step 4: Let dry. I used a book to speed up the process. It was dry in about two hours.
