DIY Burlap Bulletin Board

September 23, 2015 By Karen Creel

I love a good DIY project and was happy when MaryAnn at Domestically Challenged ask me to join her Burlap Lovers Series.  The challenge was to create a  fall burlap themed project, so I decided to complete an idea I have had in mind for my kitchen.  This will be my second kitchen project using burlap.  Some old bar stools received a makeover using burlap feed sacks.  I was in need of a bulletin board and had originally planned to make one out of one of the burlap seed sacks I had collected.  But, given the fact it’s fall, and Thanksgiving is just around the corner,  I opted to go with a fall theme.

A quick trip to Michael’s (who am I kidding, I was there and hour and a half), and I had finally decided what I was going to do.  I already had the burlap sack, so I was ready to go.

Bulletin Board Leaf

The felt leaf was too bright and didn’t match the little wooden leaves I want to use for thumbtacks, so I painted it with a nutmeg brown.

Burlap Bulletin Board Frame

The same goes for the plain frame around the bulletin board, so after placing newspaper over the cork, I spray painted it brown.

Next, the burlap was attached using a spray on adhesive.

And the same with the felt leave.

Using E6000 glue, the flat wooden leaves were attached to pushpins to complete the fall theme.

Now, a new bulletin board is ready for my kitchen wall.
