Happy New Years All! I have been hunting for the right cork board for the past 6 months, and all the really awesome ones are really expensive. I stopped by a store this past weekend to pick up paint, but I ended up walking away with much more than that. I purchased two 4 packs of 12 X 12 cork boards and I thought to myself, "Why don't I just paint these?". I even picked up wooden push pins so I could have the color of my choose. 


It was soo much easier to push the pins into a cereal box than hold them and wait for them to dry. I highly recommend it if for some reason you need to paint push pins. 



Once the cork paintings and push pins are completely dry I sealed them with a clear acrylic sealer. Since this items are going to go through a decent amount of man handling the paint will just come off if you do not seal them. 

Then once everything is dry, hand up your cork pieces however you please! I thought it would be nice to alternate the painted portions with unpainted cork.
