This is the notice board I've made using wine bottle corks that friends have saved for me (I rarely drink these days). Didn't have enough to do the whole thing as so many bottles are either screw top or use a plastic cork. The two large panels are actually the sides of a computer that hubby was getting rid of, they are magnetic and have little hooky bits which should be useful. The frame and backboard was actually in use for a photo montage till the glass broke when I tried to clean it on the inside oops! You'll recognise the children's fridge magnet letters. Even the drawing pins used to be my dad's. So just the cost of double sided tape and pva glue which were here already (essential in any self respecting craft room).
What do you think of this cute snuggle baby in bed? Made for my friend's new grandchild.
And today I started covering my sofa bed that is splitting in lots of places. Just the two seat cushions so far using an old duvet cover.
But it looks so much better when it's being used 😊

Very cute snuggle baby though I prefer the one in the last picture!
I have lots of corks that I have been collecting for years with the intention of making a cork board from them. In the utility room I have a unit end visible that is just plain white carcass. I think I will see if I have enough to cover that. I'm thinking of cutting in half and gluing them directly on so need to think how best to cut them (delegate task to M seems like a good plan so far :-) )
I've make others to sell and gifts. I just use a craft knife and they mostly cut easily. I prefer glueing flat with pva so I can juggle for best fit then leaving overnight with a weight on top (board and books) then pva over the top for a shine (helps with dusting too). If you're already on a vertical surface I guess you'll need a contact adhesive, so maybe juggle on paper first?
I am a woman armed with a glue gun :-)
Girl power !!!
