Christmas Tree Corkboard

December 22, 2013 by Chris

It’s not Christmas yet, so I still have time to post about my daughter’s Christmas cork board. I love it; she loves it. Win/win. Of course, I have no artistic skills whatsoever, so I relied on good ol’ ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape to help with…well, basically everything.

The supplies are easy enough. I used–

  • An inexpensive frame
  • Some cork board (duh)
  • Sparey adhesive
  • A yardstick
  • A couple of acrylic paints
  • A tube of Rub n’ Buff in Antique Gold (ignore the spray paint in the picture)
  • ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape

Christmas craft supplies

So here we go… I measured out the corkboard and made the tree as large as I could. I used a yardstick to measure it out.

Once I had the outline, I used the ScotchBlue™ tape to trace off the tree area. It seals beautifully, but make sure to press it down at the edges.Christmas tutorial

Once the outside was painted, I peeled back the tape to reveal my pretty little tree.

Next, I simply taped off random sections and painted them white, pink, and gold. There was no structure to it. I just taped off and eyed it. I made the bottom (trunk) of it polka dots to mix things up. Strategery, I tell ya!

Once it was all finished, I put the backing on so it would stay secure.

Aaaand done. So cute, right? It’s all ready for her Christmas notes, pictures, and cards.
