How to Make Notice Boards

There is nothing more boring that a plain cork notice board. So why not make one that turns heads with some paint, glue and knick-knacks? Read on to learn how to make notice boards.

Things You'll Need

• Bulletin board
• Spray paint
• Decoupage
• Tacks
• e6000 glue
• Buttons, typewriter keys or other small knick-knacks

Instructions

1. Buy a bulletin board or a roll of cork board. You could find either at your local office supply store, variety stores and some craft stores.

2. Spray paint the board. Pick an eye-catching color or one that suits the room where you plan to hang your notice board.

3. Decoupage the edges. For example if you work in publishing and are making one for the office kitchen, choose the pages of an old book to frame your board.

4. Pick interesting buttons or charms from old jewelry to adorn the thumbtacks for the board. Select old typewriter or computer keys for that board in the publishing house office.

5. Glue the objects to the flat part of the tacks with e6000 glue and let them dry with the pointy part of the tack facing up.

6. Stick your tacks into the board and hang.
