DIY: Upgrading My Pin Board

Well, my Disney pin board needed an upgrade. Yup, already! Turns out, 1 layer of cork is not enough. Plus I tried having the metal plate next to it, but didn't think that through. The cork board was like 1 cm thick and the metal board was practically paper thin. Yah, that didn't look pretty and was irking me so.

So, me and Zoë took a trip over to Joanns this time and I picked up some better supplies. I found a longer roll of cork, which allowed me for three layers thick.

And I had it span the entire frame this time and then laid the metal board on top of it.

Was a much more smoother transition. I also bought me some fabric. I wanted something chic and a good contrast color for my pins. I found this pretty grey. The back of it is awesome too, but probably not good for the pins. Shiny gold. Hahaha. I'll stick to the grey.

And here my board is all covered and awaiting for the white pretty frame.

Framing it proved to be a bit difficult, but with sheer force, I got it in. Unfortunately, that also resulted in hearing the glass crack. Whoops! Oh well, it's all clothed up and held stiffly with the cork layers and the back panel of the frame. Should totally be fine. None-the-less, all framed and ready for pins and magnet buttons!

Tada! Pins and magnets. Love this so much.
