Use cork sheets, a craft knife and a glue gun to create a DIY Cork Desk Organizer! Cut the following from cork sheet: (back) 7in. x 12in., (front) 3.75in. x12in., (base) 3.5in. x 12in., (4 total sides) 3in. x 3.5in. and (display) 4in. x 2in. Using a hot glue gun, adhere the back to the base edge. Adhere the front cork piece to the base cork piece. Glue the sides to the edges and the two extra side cork pieces to the inside to make areas for pens and pencils. Adhere the display piece to the front left of the front piece of the organizer. Fill with pens, pencils and more! You can use small tacks to add a photo or garland to the front of the organizer.
We used cork coasters to make this desk display project. Simply paint in an ombre look using blue and white acrylic paint. Paint a few coasters in a darker blue, then each time add a little bit of white to the paint to get to a light blue shade. Allow to dry and adhere to the wall using poster puddy.
Add some pops of color to create this large scale cork board display. We used pinks and coral to add a bright and cheery feel to natural cork squares. Paint some of the squares solid. Tape some of the squares to add a modern touch. Allow paint to dry, then carefully remove tape. Adhere to the wall with poster puddy. We designed a darling Free To Do List Printable that looks perfect on this DIY Tri-Color Square Cork Board! Add some of your favorite pictures, quotes and more with tacks or washi tape to the cork board along with your list.
