Frugal Craft Room Cork Board
I am getting so close to the end of my craft room makeover madness that I need to show off some of my work. Plus, this frugal cork board was a perfect snowy day (yes, I said snowy… in April (and yes I live in Canada)) project. Feast your eyes on my new frugal friend.
I only spent about $4 making this memo board!! Many of the supplies I had on hand. However, if you had to go out and buy everything you would spend about $20, still, that is a pretty cheap project for a substantial piece of useful wall decor.
This cork/ magnet combo is perfect for my craft room, loads of space to pin pictures, magazine clippings, and reminders. Plus, the little cups will hold a few tools, and pencils. The cookie sheet was destined for the trash, so I added a bit of fabric and gave it a new life.
I created the stencil for the back piece of meranti by folding a piece of wrapping paper in quarters and free handing the curves. This way when cut out all sides will be equal. Then cut it out with the jig saw.
I simply glued magnets on buttons with E6000.
The wire candle holders and the large clothespins are from the impulse items at Michaels for only 50¢!
What do you think? Do you have any trash worthy supplies, that could be made into a pin board? I can’t wait to show you the rest!

Love, love, love it! Can you give me the dimensions? It looks quite big. I love how you added the candle holder cups!
Thanks Claudine, It is about 2′ wide and 3′ long. Substantial, it fills the wall really well!
You had me at “frugal”! 😉 This is totally adorable. I found you at I Heart Nap Time– thanks for sharing!

What a fantastic diy project.
Looks great and so functional.
Thanks for sharing!
This is so unique!
Oh yay! I’m so happy I came across this. I’ve been putting my corks away in order to do something like this. Perfect.
What a great idea, I must start saving my corks as I would love to make this. Might need to drink quite a bit of wine to get enough though! 🙂
I don’t really see an issue with that, everyone needs a challenge! lol
Love this idea, and definitely have to pin it! I am a frugal crafter so love the inspiration.
What a great idea! I love it. The wine corks are my favourite part.
This is absolutely gorgeous! I love the shape of it and all of the different materials you used.
Super cute!
So creative! I’m not very DIY, but I think I could handle this. Pinning for when I get around to spiffing up my home office – thanks! Visiting from SITS – have a great weekend!
