Materials Needed


  • Cork board tiles

  • Acrylic paint (optional)

  • Fabric (optional)

  • Thumbtacks

  • Command strips for mounting

  • Hot glue or staples (for fabric option)


Instructions


1. Preparation: Decide whether you want to paint your cork tiles or cover them with fabric. If painting, choose your desired color of acrylic paint. For a fabric look, select a fabric that complements your room's decor.


2. Painting the Tiles:

  • If you opt for paint, apply a light coat of acrylic paint to each cork tile.

  • Allow the paint to dry completely before mounting the tiles on the wall.


3. Covering the Tiles with Fabric:

  • Cut the fabric so it’s large enough to cover the front of the tile and wrap around to the back.

  • Stretch the fabric over the front of the tile and secure it at the back with hot glue or staples.


4. Arranging the Tiles:

  • Plan the layout of your tiles on the floor before mounting them on the wall. Experiment with different patterns and arrangements that best fit your space.

  • Use Command strips to mount the tiles securely on the wall without damaging it.


5. Customizing Your Collage:

  • Use thumbtacks to pin notes, photos, inspirational quotes, or small art pieces to the cork tiles.

  • Feel free to rearrange or add new items as needed to keep your display dynamic and helpful.


Tips for Success


  • Ensure the wall surface is clean and dry before attaching the Command strips.

  • For a cohesive look, consider painting the thumbtacks to match the tiles.

  • Regularly update the items pinned to your collage to keep your display fresh and relevant.
