It's fourth dimension over again for some other #MonthlyDIYChallenge!

Each calendar month a few of my favorite blogging pals as well as I larn together as well as DIY Herringbone Cork Board {Monthly DIY Challenge}

Each calendar month a few of my favorite blogging pals as well as I larn together as well as "challenge" each other to practise a projection based on a detail cloth or theme. This month's topic was cork as well as I'm super stoked almost my novel purpose addition! I direct maintain to acknowledge though, I almost copped out as well as made coasters until I got the vivid (at to the lowest degree I think so, ha!) sentiment to brand a cork board for my office.

I started past times picking upwards a 2x4 canvas of sparse plywood from Home Depot (about $10.00) as well as (4) 1/4 inch 1 x four poplar boards (about $1.40 a piece).

I framed the plywood amongst the poplar boards, cutting the corners at a 45 aeroplane angle.

I similar to grade my angles to become far easier to retrieve where I involve to cut. Yes, I oftentimes forget inwards the five seconds it takes me to walk over to the saw.

I used woods gum to gum the poplar boards to my plywood hence used a really high tech organization to proceed the pieces inwards place.

I grabbed whatsoever I could abide by laying around our messy garage as well as piled them onto my framed board, letting it dry out overnight. Don't think you lot involve to direct maintain high tech tools to hit DIY projects, you lot volition live surprised what you lot tin practise amongst what you lot direct maintain laying around your house. I didn't fifty-fifty bother using my blast gun to reinforce the frame, the gum held only fine.

After the gum was dry out I painted the entire board amongst a few coats of white paint. I hence took my gyre of cork (I bought this 1 from Michael's using a 50% off coupon!) as well as cutting it into 3x6 inch rectangles.

I attached the cork to the board using Elmer's spray adhesive. If you lot used satin, eggshell or semi-gloss pigment on your board brand certain you lot sand your pigment a flake to assist the gum adhere better. It also helps to spray the gum onto your cork, allow it sit down a infinitesimal to allow the gum larn tacky hence add together the cork to your board.

I started inwards the corner as well as worked my agency out, adding the cork inwards a herringbone pattern.
