{How To: Spruce up a bulletin board}
Next, I sprayed it down with spray adhesive:
then flipped it over CAREFULLY, make sure your sides don't stick (you might want someone to help you on this step) and press down fabric so there are no gaps or bubbles:
next, you want to cut your ribbon to fit each side...make sure they are separate cuts, not all one long piece, then use your glue gun to glue down to the sides:
Then you will want to make your push pins.
I started with these large glass thingys
and I cut our scrapbooking paper to fit the bottoms, glued it on using modgepodge, and then hot glued a push pin to the back:
Then you can push them into your board, and its ready for hanging! :)

I'm so glad that you left a comment on my blog because now I have a new blog to follow!! I'm loving your bulletin board, but even more so I've been perusing your recipes and I'm feeling totally inspired to cook (and that's a rarity for me!!).
We have that same fabric in our oldest daughter's room. I love the black and white...but your push pin thingies just make it. Great job!
Great project! I have thought about doing one of these for awhile, but never have gotten around to actually doing it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Your remade bulletin board looks fantastic!!! Great job.
I love that idea! I have one of those corkboards with the metal frame and I hate how plain it is! I love the glass pieces that you turned into thumbtacks. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful makeover!
Have A Great Day!
