A bulletin board cabinet is a small cabinet mounted on the wall with a bulletin board as the door. Use this cabinet in any room of the house. The bulletin board allows you to post memos and pictures while the cabinet helps keep track of small papers and store items in one central area.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Bulletin board large enough to cover a mirror on a medicine cabinet
  • Glue
  • Medicine cabinet
  • Rope or ribbon
  • Dry wall saw
  • Power screw driver
  • Drill
  • Level
  1. Step 1

    Remove the bulletin board from its frame. Glue the cork board to the mirror with a strong glue. Place some heavy objects like books on top of the cork board until it dries.

  2. Step 2

    Glue ribbon or rope around the edges of the bulletin board to cover any gaps.

  3. Step 3

    Choose a wall where you want to hang the cabinet.

  4. Step 4

    Install the cabinet. If the cabinet is new, it comes with installation instructions and with measurements for the cuts. If not, measure the distance around the cabinet as well as the width of the cabinet to find the exact size of the hole you need to cut into the wall. When ready, cut the hole in the wall to the measured dimensions.

  5. Step 5

    Check that the hole is level. Place the level on the drywall. The bubble in the level must be right in between the lines. Trim the hole to make it level.

  6. Step 6

    Place the cabinet into the hole. The back of the cabinet has spaces for the screws to sit when the piece is mounted on the wall. Drill leader holes into the studs by aiming the drill through the holes in the cabinets and into the wall.

  7. Step 7

    Secure the cabinet into the wall with screws. Check the magnetic latch to make sure it holds. Some adjustments may need to be made to make sure the cabinet shuts.
