At the intersection of the lines you will need to make neat holes. Use an awl or large needle. The holes will be needed to fix the padding polyester to the base. Please note that the backing is cut to the size of the cardboard, while the decorative fabric layer is cut out with extra room for hems. The cut is placed on the backing and secured on the back side with glue or stitched with a stapler.
Pin the fabric on the wrong side

A cork board is a fairly functional item that is often used in the interior. As a rule, information sheets, notes, photographs, children's drawings, etc. are recorded on a cork board. Importantdecorate it in an original way if it Brown color in the interior it does not look very attractive in a beautifully decorated modern room.
The easiest way to make a board stylish and ideal for interior design is to drape it with a large piece of bright fabric, the color matching the rest of the decor. Its boring color can be hidden under different interesting things or simply paint with acrylic paints.
You don’t have to be an artist to make a bright piece of interior design out of a cork board. So that the surface acquires original look, it’s enough to simply decorate it in an abstract style, a zigzag in the interior, or stripes.
Playing with the shape of the board is another interesting technique. Of course, you can hang a standard square or rectangular board on the wall, or you can show your imagination. In the office, children's room or work area it is appropriate to hang a cork board in the form geographical map. You can also make puzzles from a whole sheet of paper and place them at some distance from each other. Even the shape of the circle looks more original than the classic square.

If your eyes are not pleasing to the advertisements stuck on tape that “decorate” the entrance doors and fences of institutions, perhaps this material has been prepared especially for you! The bulletin board model we propose is easy to manufacture and requires the efforts of one person!
To make a bulletin board you will need:
- plywood sheet
- wood varnish
- plexiglass sheet
- boards 80-100 mm wide
- four small loops
- wood glue or nails
- the padlock
- with lugs
1. We approach the issue head-on
First you need to take a sheet of paper, a pencil, a ruler and make a sketch of the future stand. We have made your task easier to some extent and offer our own model with optimal (as it seems to us) sizes.
2. Bulletin board design - on nails...
If you do not intend to produce such “platforms” en masse, then in general you can get by with improvised tools: a saw, a plane (for unplaned boards), a screwdriver, a hammer. The structure we produced was completely fastened with nails. Only in the upper part of the box were grooves cut out, and a crossbar was inserted into them, creating a kind of canopy over the doors.
Optimal width boards for similar product we consider 80 mm.
Having secured the back wall, create a fastening surface on it for a stationery pin. A wine cork cut in half and placed on glue is suitable for this.
3. Assembling bulletin board doors
Assembling doors for a future workpiece is the most difficult stage in its creation. To do this, it is necessary to adjust the sashes in place several times and take into account the future influence environment and time for ready product(it may swell or shrink). It will be extremely difficult to achieve an ideal gap and tight closure, so you can try fixing a sealing material on one of the flaps.
Plexiglas can be attached to the frame with inside on several small screws and coat the joints with sealant, preventing fogging and moisture penetration. Secure the resulting sashes to the frame using hinges. If necessary, reinforce the padlock lugs.
4. Decorate the bulletin board and bring it to mind
Of course, you can do without beautiful roof house, but without it the product loses its ambience. To do this, it will be enough to take only three boards. Place one thicker one horizontally on the top of the box (it is also suitable for stand branding) and attach the lid directly to it. If desired, fill a piece of tin. Do you want to decorate the structure? carved platbands- Please! After the structure is assembled, it is necessary to coat it with varnish and leave it until completely dry.
P.S. Unfortunately, we cannot know all the possible conditions for attaching the resulting stand, but we are firmly confident that if you have generated it, then correctly attaching the product in a visible place will not be difficult for you!
