Fabric Covered Bulletin Board

.
I made this fabric covered bulletin board after seeing it on Everything LEB.  You can see her post here.
.
Supplies:
- Cork Bulletin Board with wood edge.  The one I used is 17" x 23" and was only $6.00!  To see what type of bulletin board I used click here.
- Fabric of your choice
- Upholstery Tacks (Can be found at your local fabric store)
- Staple Gun.
.
..
Cut fabric to size and wrap around board.  Attach fabric with stable gun to the wood edge on the back of the board.
..
After fabric is attached, insert upholstery tacks around the front edge of the board.  The tacks I bought came in a box of 24.  I used three boxes and had just enough to go all the way around the board.
..
Here's a close up:

The finished board hanging in a nook in my kitchen:

I made another board in a different fabric for my craft room (I haven't gotten around to hanging it yet!)

That is beautiful. I saw this a while back on another blog and it has been on my to-do list for my son's room. I am just looking for the right fabric.
Thanks for following! Nice to meet another creative lady!
