I can do that....

I have to laugh at myself sometimes when I am shopping or looking through a catalog at the number of times I say...I can do that!  You know you've said it!  This is one of those times that I said it and I did it for FREE.  I like easy and cheap projects and this sisal bulletin board struck my fancy when I received my new Ballard Designs catalog the other day.  I just happened to have everything I needed leftover from other "I can do that" projects :)

Things you need:

glue gun, silver spray paint (optional) and a piece of cork the size of your frame (I bought it in a roll from Micheal's or Hobby Lobby, I think??).  

I decided I wanted my frame to be silver so I removed the picture and glass first.  Then I spray painted the frame.  Next, I hot glued the cork to the cardboard backing from the frame.  I cut a piece of sisal carpet remnant (found in the remnant section of my local carpet store) just a hair bigger than my cardboard backing  and hot glued it on top on the corkboard.  Lastly, I popped it in my frame!
I had recently gathered a bunch of old photos of my grandparents and parents and I needed a cute way to display them.  I love it!

One year and some days later.....

It was a long time getting here but I think I may be finally getting the hang of blog design.  Thanks to all those who kindly post everything there is to know about blogging online.  This blog is because of you!
