Cork Board Ceramic Tile

I was digging around in my

office/craft room the other day

and stumbled upon an idea.

Now, I don't know if this has

been done before.

(somewhere, I'm sure)

But, if you have seen it or

have done it...let me know.

I haven't seen this version of a

cork board anywhere as of yet.

Still...that's not to say one

doesn't exist.

=)

Here's what you'll need

to create your own

cork board tile:

12"x12" tile of your choice

12"x12" Cork Square

Fabric of our choice

-enough to cover the front of the tile with cork board on it

Hot glue gun & glue sticks

Mod Podge

Complimenting Ribbon

At first I thought about covering the front of the tile.

But then decided to cover the back side

so that the front side would become the back

giving the cork board a nice finished back.

I poured modpodge on the tile

and smoothed/evened it out

with a foam brush.

Then I placed a the cork square on it.

There was a little over hang so I just

lined it up on two of the four sides.

I stacked my large rolls of vinyl on

it to add pressure while drying.

But, you can use whatever is heavy!

Once dry, I added hot glue to the corners

and down the edges for added measure.

I also used an exacto knife to score off the

little overhang of cork on two sides.

I then used my hot glue gun and covered the

cork board with fabric I got from

Hobby Lobby.

I tried to tuck the corners in the same.

Pulling it tightly and adding

hot glue along the way.

There really isn't a rhyme or reason

to how I did it. I just did what worked for me.

Once finished with the covering, I added

matching ribbon to make the back look nice and clean.

I just lined the ribbon up along the edge and

glued it down. I cut 4 strips, one for each side.

See how the front of the tile has become the back?

Nice clean look in case you want to

display it on a plate stand.

=)

And here it is:

It turned out pretty darn good, I think!

What a fun way to display

jewelry, messages, notes, lists, pictures, recipes

and so much more!!

It is possible to hang tile on the

wall as well. But because

of it's heavy duty

build, I placed it on a plate stand.

;)

I'd love to hear what you think!

Thanks for stopping by!
