My Handmade Christmas: Vintage Bulletin Boards

December 5, 2008

I happened to find two vintage wooden picture frames in the trash outside my building (this never happens to me in NYC) and so am going to transform them into bulletin boards for two lucky ladies in my life this Christmas.  Cost: Roll of cork (around $11 a roll at Staples — you can get about three bulletin boards out of a single roll), foam core backing ($5) and duct tape ($0 since I have an almost endless supply).

That’s a great idea! I plan to use it. I need more corkboards, and the ones from the office stores are so … depressing.

I have had 2 vintage frames (also found!) for a year that I’ve been deciding what to do with…I like those!

Introducing myself. Have a Sign Company in Indianapolis. Been lurking around watching you guys. You are awesome. Hope to fit in. Trying to learn all I can. Thanks in advance for the help I’m sure I’ll need.
