What inspired me to do this DIY Corkboard Picture Frame Project?

How long did it take to make a DIY Corkboard Picture Frame?

This DIY Corkboard picture frame took me about 30 minutes to make and is displayed on my wall to use right now. =)

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 stickers

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 pressed flowers

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

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.

Ways to use this DIY Corkboard Picture Frame Project

There are lots of ways to use this DIY project to help you get organized. Below are just some of them.

  • You can divide the board into sections and use sticky notes (Affiliate Link) to add your tasks, reminders, and inspirational thoughts. Then, place the picture frame near your desk for easy access.
  • You can hang it up near your front door or anywhere you place your keys and bag to remind you to do something. Add things like mail to go out and reminders to it so you remember what you need to do.
  • Display it in your kids' rooms with their morning chores or tasks list to help them stay on track.
