Stencil A Corkboard, step by step

Jenna whipped up a cute mini makeover with a $10 corkboard and some low-cost patterned fabric. Here is her letter:

Like everyone else that writes in, I ENJOY the journal! I have gotten a ton of project ideas from you folks (and the Reader Redesigns that you feature) so I thought I’d send mine in! My husband and I have been trying to add some pops of green into our blue/beige/espresso living room and when I needed new fabric to cover some patio cushions, I saw my opportunity at the fabric store. We picked up this mail sorter/key holder/cork board on clearance from Kohl’s for about $10 but the cork simply was not doing it for us. $1 worth of fabric, some ribbon, and some craft spray adhesive later and it was customized (here is the online walkthrough I used for the project). It took me less than an hour and was a strong way to freshen the room for quite little $$! -Jenna

Is not that adorable?! We enjoy the patterned fabric and the ribbon trim detail. And of course the cost of this miraculous mini makeover is not too shabby either. Thanks so much for sending the pictures our way Jenna. Long live inexpensive upgrades!
