Do you have any old frames, where maybe the glass has been broken, and you just aren't sure what to do with them? Or do you have a super talented husband like I do?
My husband made me this gorgeous rustic cherry wood frame. He builds, stains, and installs custom cabinets for a living, so I am one lucky girl! He built this from scratch and wasn't happy with how it turned out, so it became mine to do with what I please...
When we bought this house last fall, we also bought a new stainless steel refigerator. I had no idea real stainless steel won't hold magnets, so I decided a cork board would be a perfect use for this frame in my kitchen. So I bought cork squares and affixed them to a cardboard backer,with hot glue, like so...
I then used grossgrain ribbon to make a gridded look on the cork board to hide the seams...
and glued it into place with hot glue on the back seams. And here is the finished product! Now I just need to find some cute push pins and start pinning my grocery lists, to - do lists, and beautiful artwork by Boo Boo!
What a wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing!

Great DIY project and lucky you for having such a crafty husband! Mine was an electrician (now in the sales side) so the first thing he did when we moved into our new house was install new lights EVERYWHERE! lol
