Looking for a way to organise all those receipts, tickets, flyers and cards without losing anything? What you need is a notice board. Today we're showing you how to make your own. It's easy, it's pretty, and best of all, it's love heart shaped - what more could you want?!
Grab all your materials plus some sharp scissors and black pen, and let's get started!
Trace around the edge of your love heart chalkboard onto the cork sheet.
Cut it out using sharp scissors taking care to be as accurate as possible.
Take the small black & white pins and cover them in glue. Pour some black glitter into a small container or bowl, and dip the pins in. Do the same with the glass beads and several other small pins.
Count out 7 beads of each colour. Cover the top of the big pins in glue, and then press the beads on, one at a time, beginning in the middle and working your way out until a flower is formed.
Get your elasticated string, and stretch it over the chalkboard, making a cross at the front. Secure the string in place on the back of the board by tying it together.
Glue the back of the cork to the chalkboard, making sure the edges are aligned.
Adorn your cork board with pins and other bits and bobs, pop on the clip-on hanger and hang on a hook, door knob or surface.
Ta-da!
