Revamped Picture Frames DIY: push pin bonus

March 23, 2010
Revamped Picture Frame Tutorial:
Cork Board with {Funky} Push Pins

Apparently I got a crafty bug this weekend.
At first this started out as just another cork board frame revamp…but then I threw together an extra element at the last minute that I think gives this project some extra charm–funky push pins made from earring backings.
Scroll down for the tutorial:

Let’s Get Started
Supplies Needed:
Frames in need of a good revamp
Cork Board
Spray Paint in the colors of your choice
Scissors
Plain Earring backings (available at Joanns in the jewelry supply section)
Here are my frames before the revamp:
This one isn’t so bad the way it is, but it was a little too white for me.
And this is a dollar store plastic gray frame–definitely in need of some TLC.
Step {One}:

I selected an antique white paint and a satin black semi-gloss.  Wait for them to dry completely, before moving to step two. **Note: Apparently the spray paint I selected was not super compatible with my plastic frame.  I had to apply three coats, so keep that in mind if you are using a plastic frame.
Step {Two}:

I had a little extra room in between the cork board and the back of the frame, and so the cork board wouldn’t collapse, I added some extra cork scraps to fill in the space.

Step {Three}:
Now add your favorite picture and you’re done.
This project would also be super cute in your kitchen with your favorite recipe pinned to it.
And now my favorite–the plastic frame and funky buttons:
BONUS Mini Tutorial:
So, I wanted to include some pins with my cork board, but I checked every drawer in my house and couldn’t find a single one.  Instead I found my jar of extra buttons and beads, and some earring backings. So I busted out my glue gun and made some use of the dusty buttons.
Now you have some unique and anthropologie-esk pins for your new cork board.
 
Happy Crafting!
