$1 Chalk~Cork Board...

A fast, easy and cheap message board....

A $1 cork board (with a bad print} from Ocean State Job Lot.

Scrap burlap.

Chalk Board paint.

Paint brush.

apply a saw tooth hanger on back

To add a little interest to the plain cork, chalk board....I will hang it from an iron hook and burlap.

Here's how:

Hang the board the height you want it with a small nail.

Remove the board.

Right above the small nail - about 6 inches - screw in the iron hook.

Drape ribbon over the hook and tape each end to the wall about 6 inches below the small nail.

This way the chalk board will "look" like it is hanging from ribbon and the iron hook .

Place the Cork-Chalk Board back up on the small nail.

Write a message...

Pin up notes and photos.

Useful, easy and cute.
