GLAMifying a Boring Bulletin Board

This was one of those projects where I thought it would take me forever but I was pleasantly surprised when I finished it in 2 hours. (from shopping to completion). It all started when I was staring at this boring cork board, that I wasn't using, in my PE office after school today. I knew I wanted to bring it to my classroom but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with it, meaning how I could make it look pretty? So I hopped on the web and searched for some inspiration and I found this awesome idea where you cover the entire board, including the frame, with fabric and then install thumb tacks around the perimeter to give it a finished look.  I was immediately on board(no pun intended) and excited to get started. I decided to get my workout in early so that I could spend all night tackling this project (little did I know I would finish in 2 hours...thumbs up!).  So I headed to the weight room smashed my shoulders and legs with a killer workout and then I headed to JoAnn Fabrics to search for some fabric. I found a few options pretty fast and quickly narrowed it down to this beautiful emerald green geometric print. I won't bore you with all of the step by step instructions because it was pretty simple so instead I will just the let pictures tell the story. So here we go....

And......it's GLAMified!  Easy right? The best part is it's totally "ME" and I love being able to express myself in my second home classroom. I still can't believe it only took me 2 hours from the minute I got in my car to shop to the minute I took these pics. That means I will have some extra time tonight for a good bath and some glorious pinning. I can't wait to see it in my classroom tomorrow.  I almost don't want to put anything on it because it's so FAB =)

Don't worry I didn't forget about my next post(salsa and rope that I referenced here), I just slid this one in there because I was so pumped about it.

Check ya later dudes!
