Now that back to school is approaching, it is time to prepare all the materials that the children will need to face a new course they are all energies. To look forward to going back to school, nothing better than having a lot of precious materials and special supplies, like this cork board in the shape of a cloud.
A cork board is a very useful tool to always have in view all those important things that cannot happen, such as appointments, exams or important events. And to motivate students not to miss anything and have all their notes well in sight, nothing better than create an original cork board for your desk.
Shaped cork board
In this case I have chosen the cloud because it is easy to do and is ideal in any space, whatever the rest of the decoration. But you can change the shape according to the tastes of your children, create a sandwich, a star or the shape you prefer. You can also change the colors, because ultimately, the wonder of manual projects is that you can make them completely to your liking, different and unique.
These are the materials that we will need
- A sheet of cork
- Tape bodybuilder
- Painting
- Un brush
- Pencil
- Scissors
- A piece of rope
Step by step to create a cloud-shaped cork board
First we are going to draw the silhouette of the cloud or the chosen shape on the cork base. It does not matter that it does not come out perfect, because by trimming you can flip it over and keep the part that is not marked.
Once the silhouette is ready, we go on to cut it.
We put some strips of masking tape To delimit the areas that we will paint, in this case we are going to create some lines.
Carefully we are painting the areas that have not been hidden with masking tape.
When the paint is completely dry, we remove the masking tape carefully.
Finally, we make some small holes to place a piece of rope. So we can attach the cloud-shaped cork board with a thumbtack on the wall. And voila, we already have a decorative element as well as useful to start school with all the intention.
