Crafts: How to make your stylish

Crafts: How to make your stylish - billboards own Opinion of the Council are perfect for organizing documents and calendars in an office or kitchen. I decided to deviate from the traditional style and create one using two thick frames and a cork sheet I stencil. The thicker frames give a custom, more expensive look without the extra work! This is perfect for those without access to power tools.

There are endless possibilities, so be creative. If space allows, try using four frames to create a great piece of reporting, or use glass frames to create a dry erase board.

Materials and tools frames

• 2 Ikea Norrlida
• 2 x 4ft cork roll
• Contact adhesive cement (if the cap is not an adhesive backing)
• 1in masking tape
• spray, craft or latex paint
• cutting tools: Stanley knife, metal ruler and mat (or scissors) cut

1 remove the back frame and remove the cardboard mast. Unroll the cap and trace around the mat board included with the frame.

Tip Unroll the cork the night before and heavier with books to make it easier to work the next day.

2 Cut the cap using the cutting mat, a Stanley knife and metal ruler or carefully cut with sharp scissors.

3 Apply contact cement to the mat board and carefully align the cork. Put some heavy books on top of that it adheres evenly.

Tip ENLIST an additional set of hands to help align the cap, since the cement contact assemblies quickly.

4 Arrange the masking tape. For a simple chevron design, start in the middle of the inner edge and work towards the outer corner. Use two pieces of tape between the lines to allow easy, accurate spacing. When the band crosses and creates a point, overlap the intersection and use the Stanley knife to cut the excess tape before the angle.

5 Press the entire masking tape firmly and apply some spray paint thin layers, allowing to dry between coats. Or brush on boats or latex paint.

6 Once the paint is dry, remove the masking tape.

7 Remove the glass frame, insert the plug and the support frame and fix it in place. Then mount on the wall and start pinning!
