Bulletin Board Project

This is my latest project. I was at the dollar store and found a corkboard for $2.00. I painted the frame tan and distressed it. I then found a piece of embroidery material and glued it to the cork. I used some ribbon and flowers to decorate. This project cost me a total of about $5.00.

I taught primary on the 1st. So, I had the kids make themselves a photo clip.
