I went AWOL again ... sorry!
I am still here though and still going strong and I am very much still 100% Paleo and loving it.
I have been pretty busy. The shed in the garden is up and looks good but we still have the greenhouse to add and the others bits. There's a long way to go out there ...
But I did make this mirror: -
I used an old/unused frame from Ikea which I took the glass out of and disregarded it. I then removed the backing and used this as a template to draw around over a plain cork notice board that I bought from a discount store. I then cut out the cork board. I was going to leave it like that but it was a bit beige so I considered painting it before deciding covering it in fabric would be better. I found some stripe fabric in my stash (Ikea again) and stapled it around the board using my upholstery gun. I then mounted the covered board in the frame and voila. A simple, cheap and stylish pin board.
Don't forget to make the board a bit smaller to allow for the fabric making the board bigger when it comes to mounting it back in the frame. Best to cut little at a time so not to cut away too much.
My new pin board looks good with these two guys in my kitchen ....
