Corkboard project

Let's start with some of the simple projects. I recovered a plain corkboard to fit my black and white color scheme for the office/guest-room:


Before: Your standard-issue corkboard:

 After: Fancy new fabric corkboard:

Materials:
-Fabric to fit the board
-Staples
-Staple gun
-Picture hanging kit (or adhesive foam tape)

It takes a few minutes to make sure it's lined up on all sides. After that, it's just some  stapling. To hang it up later, I used a picture hanging kit, although I could have also used some adhesives. The great part is, I can always take the fabric off if I get tired of the look later, or replace it with a different fabric later down the road.
