So I was inspired by the beautiful photo calendar posted by the lovely blogger I am Style-ish and decided I needed an equally fun and festive board to display them on. So I made a trip to Hobby Lobby and ended up spending hourss there... not an exaggeration btw.
So there is a 40% off coupon for hobby lobby that last until 12/18 if anyone is interested in buying crafts. I bought a cork board, glitter spray paint, black paint, stencil, and I already had the brushes. Total cost: under $15
I painted the entire board with black paint, and when it dries it is very even, this picture was taken while there were still wet spots.
Then I took it outside to spray paint. At first I sprayed using the stencil but it came out rather sporadically so I decided to just glitter the whole board.
After it dried I placed the pictures on it and luckily they all fit cause I didn't measure it! haha
Then I used some pretty colorful push pins and ta da! I love it. It is definitely an upgrade from the sad calendar printout I have taped to my wall. Sprucing up cork boards are a fun way to decorate and so inexpensive. I suggest using paint for stenciling though, spray paint just gets too messy.
Wore this outfit out to Cheeseberry and to shoot pool. Since learning that Cheeseberry was closing down yesterday, I've ate there TWICE!
