An affordable but really pretty way of decorating your home and office alike is by using a framed cork board. Don’t think that a cork board is so dull and boring, having only one neutral color of brown, because it isn’t. You can actually do a lot of things with a framed cork board. In fact, you can express your artistic and creative self by making a framed cork board.

Initially, you need to have a specific purpose in mind. You must try asking yourself what you want your cork board to become. Envision the result and where exactly you would be placing your framed cork board. This is really very important so that you would have a definite goal while making your framed cork board.

If you have been initially thinking of making something which would hold memorable pictures of you and your friends, or perhaps family, then try to make a large framed cork board. You can use different materials for the border. You might have some old pieces of hand crafted wood which you can use for the frame, or if you prefer and your budget permits it, you can actually buy something new.

If the wood looks really old, then you can try painting it with any color you desire, there is no limit, after all it would be your own design. Even if you have it in multi-color, it would definitely look great.

After painting the wooden frame, try to attach it to the cork board. Use any adhesive you can find which would be able to hold all the pieces together. If you have a knack for some carpentry work, you can actually use some tacks or something that would join the frames at each corner, but just remember to be careful.

If after trying it out and you feel that your framed cork board is too thin or too plain, then it’s time to make some really cool designs on the cork board. You can try absolutely anything which you feel would have that stylish look you want. You can try to paint, add some glitters, or perhaps a padding of cloth which would create that embossed effect on the cork. In fact, having a cute colored background for the pictures would really look awesome, and wherever you would be placing this framed cork board, it would surely be a head-turner.

After perfecting your framed cork board, you would surely feel satisfied at what you have accomplished. And, every time you get to see your own craft, it would definitely bring a smile to your face.
