DIY Mosaic Cork Board - Back to School

Hello!

Today I have yet another DIY for you :)  I'm very excited to share this one with you guys cause I had lots of fun making it and I think that it's SUPER cute!  Since school is starting up again soon (oh no!!!), I decided to do a cute back to school DIY for decorating your locker; a mosaic cork board!  I'm going to be putting mine in my locker but it could also be hung on your bedroom wall or anywhere else really!

Materials:

1. Cardboard (cut into 4 equal sized squares)
2. Cork board (cut into 4 equal sized squares)
3. Fabric
4. Scissors
5. Paint
6. Paint brush
7. Glue-gun

Step #1:

Paint 2 of your pieces of cork board layer after layer, letting dry between layers.  Keep painting until you are satisfied with how they look.

Step #2:

Cut out 2 pieces of fabric that are just a bit bigger than your squares of cork board.

Step #3:

Hot glue the cork board squares to the pieces of fabric.

Step #4:

Decide how you want your cork board "tiles" to be arranged.

 Step #5:

Hot glue your cardboard squares to the backside of your "tiles" for added sturdiness.  Then, hot glue your tiles together.

Step #6 (optional):

Hot glue magnets to the backside of your cork board mosaic.

Step #7:

Fill your cork board with inspirational quotes and little things that make you happy!

 I hope you enjoyed this little back to school DIY!  I'd love to see a picture of your creation if you decide to recreate this project :)  I hope you guys are having a great Summer so far!!!
