i know wednesday is normally diy day but i couldn’t resist sharing this cool diy project from maya at maya*made. she decided to update the traditional cork board idea with something fun and different- coffee/grain/flour sacks. i love the way she’s re-purposed them here (though some of them are lovely i’d hang them as is) and made such a fun and easy project from them. click here for the full instructions or just click “read more” for details below. you can also click here for maya’s original post. [thanks, maya!]
Maya’s Sack Hack
(click here for her post and full instructions)
What You’ll Need:
-bulletin board
-staple gun
-scissors
-coffee sack (Maya suggests calling your local roaster)
Steps:
1. Cut your sack open along seam to get the largest useable piece of burlap out of it.
2. Measure your board and cut your covering with about 2-3 inches surplus around each side.
3. Position the graphic where you’d like them and secure it with a couple of thumb tacks.
4. Flip cork board over and staple burlap to back side. Don’t pull taut or you will skew the graphics. (Maya says: “I pulled it tightly the first time and regretted it. My second go at it left the letters a little wavy still, but it didn’t bother me.”)
