A couple of weeks ago, I started a DIY project with these two old window frames I had. I decided to make them into really cool bulletin boards... Below is the tutorial and the final project. You will love this!
First of all, I measured each open pane and cut a piece of 1/4" birch plywood to fit each pane. I also cut cork to fit each piece of wood. Once each piece is cut out, I glued the cork to the board with a strong adhesive and allowed it to dry. While it was drying, I spray painted the window frames in a black lacquer. (Not Shown)
Once the cork was dry on the wood, I cut 3 layers of Warm and Natural to fit then began upholstering each piece in Osnaburg. Once I was down upholstering, I simply nailed each wood piece into the open panes!
Voila!! I love the way it turned out! I stenciled on a Fleur De Lis in the larger square.
It's a perfect piece for my little office nook. I have one little wall in the loft that I have carved out for my office. It's really taking shape. Just a few more things I want to do before I really love it!
You probably can't see very well, but I made some cool stick pins for the bulletin board. More on that later! Tell me what you think!
