Here is the recent cork board I created for a client's master bedroom...
But it didn't actually start out that way.
When I was working on a recent client's master bedroom, I was on the look out for a sunburst mirror to go above the desk area. Well, I found one for a steal, but there was a flaw all along the edge of the mirror, so I had an idea...
I cut a perfect circle out of cardboard and taped it down to the mirror. Then I took a can of black spray paint and did several coats of black paint and then I held my breath while I peeled off the cardboard and AHHHH!
Not so pretty!
It might not look that bad in this photo, but trust me, it was Bad!!! The edge was all uneven. I knew it wouldn't do, but I had one other idea that I thought would work. So, I pulled out my roll of cork, an Exacto knife, some material, a staple gun, and some adhesive spray.
Then using the mirror as a template, I cut a circle out of the cork, used some spray adhesive to attach the material.
Then I stapled the material down to the cork.
And stapled and stapled...
I did away with the mirror all together since the cork board was so thick, I didn't need to add it back in.
So, then I just flipped the cork over and fit it in the metal frame. There was a little screw on the top so I just tightened it in.
And viola...
A nice and usable piece of art :)
