Alright, let’s admit it, we all spend a lot of time pinning things to our various Pinterest boards and many with the intention of trying to make ourselves. My DIY Ideas board is growing fast and furious and the other day I thought to myself, ‘I just need to start actually trying to make some of this.’ I think the big issue I have is that part of me feels like I’m being a ‘copycat’ and lacking creativity by using someone’s idea. After thinking it through, I realized that people post tutorials on their blogs for others to make it. So, I’m doing just that, starting with this awesome, and easy little Painted Cork Board.
This version is from The Happy Home
And, this is the version I made the other day.
For a full tutorial, you can find it here on The Happy Home.
I’m linking up to some of the following here as well as Funky Junk Interiors, Between Naps on the Porch,
This is really really really cute! I love it. i am totally picking up some cork boards when they go on sale at Hobby Lobby!
Thanks!

Hi Amanda, I found your blog via Rosie from Craftbotic and it’s is so cute! And you life sounds like a dream! I wish I lived on a farm with all these cute animals. I also live this board, so simple and yet so stylish!
looks fabulous, and a spot on match for your inspiration. great job!
Just stopping by from Craftbotic to say hi. Your DIY is amazing. I have a few boards smilar to this that I was trying to think of something to do with and you just gave me a few ideas!
This looks great! You pulled it off perfectly!
I think you’re so right…bloggers want you to try to make their projects!
On another note, the thought hadn’t even crossed my mind to have a cork board, but after seeing yours (and the original too), I really, really want to make one for my craft room! I’m glad you made yours and shared it with all of us!
Looks terrific, Amanda! If all those pretty projects were as simple as this one, we might actually do more than just “pin” them, right? lol
Thanks for linking to Time Travel Thursday. Hope to see you each week.
Blessings,

Thank you for stopping by! Have a great day!
Very cute! Love how it turned out =) And you can also change the layout of the squares if you want to move them to another place in your house, e.g. have them all stacked in one row. xo Anja
