How To Fabric Covered Bulletin Board The Homes I Have Made Next, i measured out the cork board size, adding an inch total (1 2″ on either side). i then cut out my fabric to the right size. next, i used spray adhesive to attach my fabric to the cork board. although the picture below suggests that i sprayed the cork board, i actually opted to spray the backside of the fabric instead. First, carefully cut your fabric to fit the board. you can choose to cover part of the board or the entire surface with the fabric. if the fabric frays on the edges after cutting, apply a small amount of mod podge to the frayed edges so they stay put. once the fabric is cut to size & ready, spread out a thin layer of mod podge with the foam.

Fold all of the fabric edges over 1 inch to the back side of the fabric and press. place the fabric onto the bulletin board right side up. push one upholstery tack through the fabric and the bulletin board on one corner, aligning the fabric to the inside of the frame. then, pull the fabric gently and secure the opposite corner with a tack. Iron that fabric, realllllly well. then place the fabric face down on your floor. place the foam insulation on top of it. wrap the fabric around the sides making sure it’s straight, smooth, and even. attach the fabric to the back, using large pieces of clear packing tape (or duct tape or flat thumbtacks. whatever floats your boat). Step 2: lay your fabric on your work space (a tabletop or the floor are easiest) with the patterned side facing down. step 3: trim the fabric on all sides of the board if needed. you only need 2 3″ of extra fabric on each side of the board. keeping too much excess fabric will make it difficult to staple the fabric to the board.

This bulletin board was picked up at jysk for about $9, but i have sometimes seen these at thrift stores as well. first the unfinished pine frame was given a good couple coats of white craft paint. next, measure and then cut the fabric to the exact size of the bulletin board. i gave it a little iron to remove all ridges and wrinkles. To attach the fabric to the bulletin board, i turned to my friend, loctite spray adhesive. this is the same spray adhesive i use with stencils to hold them firmly in place. to get a more permanent bond, you want to spray both surfaces that you are adhering together and allow them to sit for 10 minutes before bonding them.
