Remember these that I got for less than a dollar at the GCF store? I believe they were cork hot plates. I am pretty sure that is what they are but I saw them as something totally different.
When I looked at them, I saw a cork board.
I had plenty of paint left over from another recent project (I don't do a whole lot of painting) and thought I would use it up before it sits and separates or dries out.
I painted each one a different color with acrylic paint. I actually painted it twice to ensure that it was coated well without seeing the cork underneath.
I bought some letter stencils and taped them to the dried cork circles then painted one of Red's initials on each one.
I glued the circles in a diagonal arrangement, chosen by Red herself, with hot glue and then covered where they connected with a large button.
On the back I glued a wooden piece that extends across all three to make them sturdy. Lastly, all I need to do is hang it on Red's wall.
Now Red can tack all of those random little magazine pictures, notes, and other scraps in one neatly unorganized spot!
