How did I make this DIY Corkboard Picture Frame Project?
Before Picture
First, this BEFORE picture is what the picture frame looked like before I modified it. It was super plain and needed some dressing up. Now, remove the glass, but keep the back and any other sheet to use later.
Add Bling Strip
Then, cut one strip of Bling Sticker Strass Autocollant Pegatina Brillante embellishments Recollections (TM) from Michaels and place them on the right side front of the picture frame. Do the same to the bottom front of the picture frame.
Add Press Flowers
Now, using Mod Podge (Affiliate Link) and a brush, apply a thin coat to the frame and press the leaves to the left front of the picture frame.

Wait a few minutes, and then add the flowers to the top of the leaves. If you do it any sooner, the leaves will tear. Continue this process: add leaves, wait for them to dry, then add flowers until you fill the remaining part of the frame.
Add the Bling Sticker pieces
Next, Take a three to four-inch strip of Bling Sticker Strass Autocollant Pegatina Brillante embellishments Recollections (TM) from Michaels and cut it into pieces to add randomly on top of the leaves section of the picture frame.
Add Cork Sheet
Now, it's time to add the corkboard sheet to the back of the picture frame. Using the glass you pulled out, outline the glass size onto the cork sheet. Then, cut with scissors. Add the cork to the picture frame and add the backing by securing it to the picture frame.
The Big Reveal
This corkboard picture frame looks lovely, and I really like the use of it.

Tips on making this DIY Corkboard Picture Frame Project
Below are a few tips to help you with this project.
- Use a thin brush or foam brush for the Mod Podge (Affiliate Link). For the pressed flowers, you only need a thin layer on the frame.
- The pressed flowers are very delicate, so be extremely gentle with them.
- Wait a bit after you add the first layer of leaves before adding the next pressed flowers. It will break the first layer if you do not let it dry slightly.
- You can use push pins to hold the papers to the corkboard.
