DIY: BLOOMING BULLETIN BOARD
This great idea for a Blooming Bulletin Board is brought to you courtesy of the cool new book "My DIY" by Kim Potts.
Materials:
1 plain, corkboard bulletin board
1 yard of artificial turf (available at hobby and home improvement stores)
Several large artificial flowers, of various types and colors (available at any craft or discount store, and cheaper when you buy them in a bunch and cut them apart yourself)
10 pushpins
Strong glue (like e6000, a brand available at any craft or home improvement store) or a hot glue gun
A tape measure or large ruler
Scissors
DIY Step-By-Step:
- Measure the inside of the bulletin board (the actual cork part, where you will pin things). Cut a piece of the artificial turf to that exact size, glue it to the bulletin board and let it dry.
- Cut the stems off all the flowers, so they have a flat back. Glue each one to the top of a pushpin and let it dry.
- Hang your grassy bulletin board and use your new flower pushpins to decorate your hanging yard!
Extra touch: If you don't want to buy fake flowers, make paper flowers and use them for the pushpins.
