Anyways here is the "how to" of the project.
Items you'll need:
Foam core: I measured my wall and used (9) 24" x 30" to get the desired size.
Duct Tape:
Cork Tiles:
Liquid Nails:
Measuring Table:
Nails:
Metal Ruler:
Exact-o knife:
Spray adhesive:
Fabric of your choice:
Staple gun and staples:
So here's the super simplified run down of how to get this job done.
First I laid out the 9 pieces of foam core onto my floor in the desired size I wanted.
Once I made sure that size was right and corners were straight I duct taped all the foam core pieces together. And cut the foam core to size using my Exacto knife.
I then took to the cork tiles and used Liquid Nails to adhere them to the cork board. As soon as they were all dry I used the Exacto knife and my metal ruler to cut off the excess cork.
I marked the measurments with pencil on to the wall and nailed the cork board onto the wall.
Once up I sprayed the cork board with spray adhesive and then applied my fabric.. I stapled along the entire board so that the fabric was doubly secured.
I finished with some trim moulding and wallah! HUGE cork board for all m my pretties~





























It looks amazing!!! It's absolutely massive and gorgeous!! Well organized too :)
