{ Handmade Cork Board with Fabric Scraps }


A friend dropped off a few bags of giveaway clothes the other day for me to use to make crafts.
I couldn't resist making something out of these well worn jeans.
The denim was perfectly aged and I could resist using it for something in the girls room.


I decided to use the denim to wrap a cork board I had.



I wrapped the whole cork board with one leg of the jeans, and hot glued the material to the back.


The corners were wrapped like a present.



The denim was well wore, so there were marks here and there, like this white paint splatter.


I searched the internet for an image I thought would look cute and cover the paint mark.


I pulled together some other scraps I had in my craft room.
A teal wool, some brown flannel damask, and a gray jersey knit.



I cut some teal wool in a branch shape.


And, ta-da, the paint splatter disappears.



Some little birds to perk on the branches cut out of the gray knit.


I screwed "D" hooks onto the back of the cork board.
