Homemade Message Board Ideas

Craft: Recycled Message Board

Carrie Snider

This will keep your whole family organized! Using recycled materials, you can create a beautiful message board to display in your entry way.

Approximate Time: About an hour

Supplies:

• recycled cork board
• recycled shelf
• spray paint
• fabric
• decorative pins
• butter knife

Instructions:

1. Spray paint the entire cork board and shelf the same color (you might want to remove any hooks first). Let dry.
2. To add visual interest, add some fabric along the bottom half of the message board. To do this, simply use a butter knife and slowly work the fabric into the frame of the cork board. Fold over the top part of the fabric as you slide in the sides. Use decorative pins to hold the fabric in place along the cork.
3. Attach the cork board and shelf to the wall right next to each other so it looks like one big piece.
4. Presto! Add a calendar or other important papers. If your shelf has hooks, it's a perfect place to hang keys or other essentials.

If you have a metal door, I have a wonderful idea that will help. If you don't you can still put up a metal sheet on the door, unless of course it is a decorative front door.
