DIY Decorated Cork Trivet Wall

If you haven't heard, my friend Danielle from Framed Frosting is starting a new link up called "Craft With What You've Got."


I was super excited when she said the first week would be craft paints because I had actually just used some for a project the day before! (Who doesn't love when a post you were going to write anyway perfectly lines up with someone's link up?)

I had been seeing pictures on pinterest of collages of round cork boards so when I was setting up my new office area, I knew that I wanted some round cork boards on the walls. 

This is a super simple project and it only took me about fifteen minutes!



Here's what you need:
-Cork Board Trivets. I got mine from Amazon for super cheap- IKEA Cork Trivets 7" Round Pack of 3 (affiliate link)
-Craft Paint. I had this on hand but it's not expensive.
-Paint Brush. I had this on hand but the foam ones are super cheap. Around 50 cents a brush I think
-Fabric if you want to use it
-Scissors
-Hot Glue Gun and Sticks

Now, the whole project is pretty self explanatory.

I had three cork trivets so I painted one black, and then hot glued my lace fabric to a bare one and then I painted one black and then glued the lace on top of that so they are all different.

On the one that just has fabric, I cut around the edges to get the excess off, but on the one that has paint and fabric, I glued the edges around the back like this.


I think either one works and I kind of like that they are all different.

This project has endless possibilities because you can decorate it out however you want!

Here it is on the wall above my desk along with a embroidery hoop I got from Hayley's World. I may add some more trivets in the future, but for now this is enough. I love that I just reach up with a push pin and stick something on the wall without poking holes but it's still cute when I don't have anything up there!


What project would you do with craft paints?
