I spent all day yesterday working on my Craft Room.
One of the projects I started and finished was giving my old Cork Board a quick makeover using fabric.
I love how our Polka Dot Pin Board used to look.
{ You can see the tutorial of this board here. }
But for the new room the color was too close to the wall and I wanted to make it pop.
This is what I did.
I used half of a yard of fabric for this project.
I cut the fabric about 1 inch wider than the board.
With a butter knife I pushed the fabric inbetween the frame and the board, working my way around.
To make the fabric stay I used pins of the same color.
You want to pin them in an angled position.
The colors of the pins and the fabric blend so well that I can hardly tell that they are there..
After I was done with the board I used the other half of a yard to make a new ironing board cover.

I love this ironing little area.
It is amazing what a bit of color and fabric can do.
Colors have the power to create a feeling in a room. They can make you happy, sad, hungry, or angry.
My new Craft Room has a ton of natural light, and most of the furniture is white.
I want the fabrics in the room to stand out and fill the space with colorful patterns that inspire me to create.
Here is a sneak peek of the curtains.
I can’t wait to show you the rest…
Make sure to come back at 10:30 pm to link up your projects to this week’s link party!
Thank you so much for stopping by today.

OMG I love this makeover. So brilliant using a knife to push the fabric under the frame. I totally love that fabric do you know the name of it? Or where you can buy it?
