I have been on a memo, list-making, organizing rampage as of late. Too many last minute phone calls to doctors to check what time my appointment is and too many photos found strewn around the house that need to be hung.
I headed to target and picked up a 4 pack of cork board squares and used some fabric I had around the house and some upholstery tacks.
It also helps, but is not required, that you have a cute helper with a bossy pointer finger
Don’t forget, I am really lazy, not very crafty, but I like things to look pretty. I simply cut the fabric and wrapped the cork board with it and then attached the fabric with the tacks.
I made a couple of them – one for memos and notes in the kitchen and one for photos of the kiddos to hang in my bedroom. It seemed like a fun, decorative way to display things around here and it cost me $5!
I LOVE this idea! I have a space right above the computer desk where this would perfect. I’ve always wanted to hang some kind of message board there but since it’s right in our family room I thought that would be ugly. But this is perfect. Thanks!

I did this with painters canvass a while back. I used a hot glue gun but I see I could have maybe used some thumb tacs. Will have to keep that in mind.

I actually love cork, just plain cork with nothing hanging on it. It looks so natural and architectural. I’d forgotten what a cool, cheap resource it is. I’m imagining a cork tile headboard or even a whole wall of cork–that would be awesome!

my computer desk is of a metal and wood construction, this seems to be very sturdy and it can hold 20 inch montier ~”:
