Recovering Old Bulletin Boards With Drop Cloth Fabric

When most people are asleep on a Sunday morning, I'm up and working on my next project.

I'm fixing up the old shabby bulletin boards in the kitchen this morning.

As you're reading through this post please pay attention to the bold blue links that will take you to more information and the products I used for this project. Also the READ MORE sections will take you to related Homeroad projects. 

I bought a plain drop cloth at Home Depot the other day. 

I was planning on recovering pillows for my living room but I had a better idea for now.

Step one was to cut off the finished edging all the way around the canvas... save it! (You're gonna need it later)

I measured the bulletin board inside the frame and cut the canvas to the exact size of the cork.

Next I sprayed the back of the canvas with spray adhesive and set it onto the cork, be sure to smooth it down. 

I used the cut edging I removed at the beginning and glued it all the way around the edges of the bulletin board to hide any rough edges.

And here is the finished bulletin board project, directly across from this one is another bulletin board I needed to finish next.

I measured a piece of drop cloth about 3" larger than the bulletin board and stapled it with the staple gun on the back.

I added rosettes in the 4 corners to finish off the look.

And I even have enough drop cloth fabric left to re-cover the pillows next!
