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 Tanya! You are always so sweet to me…♥
That’s cute! I’m pinning- I have a cork board right over my sewing machine.
Amy,
I love how easy it is to give it a new look. Then if you want to change it again you can use the fabric for something else.
Showing this to my daughter who has the same size and color old cork board. She is currently redoing her room so I know she will be on top of this once she gets some fabric.
