diy shabby chic embroidery hoop corkboards

June 5, 2017

A few months ago, I created these cute, shabby chic cork boards for my room using embroidery hoops. I ended up taking down my original cork boards–these four 12×12 squared boards that I had made from cork tiles and recycled t-shirts–and reusing the cork tiles for these embroidery hoop boards. I purchased the 10 inch hoops at Michaels and the fabric I used to cover the cork is from Shabby Fabrics. I’ve been in the process of changing up my space, so I thought redoing my cork boards and actually using them as inspiration boards would be a nice change.

I only made two embroidery hoop cork boards out of two of my previous boards. In the video below I show you my entire process of making these cork boards and how I went about decorating them, in case you are interested in trying out this DIY yourself. If you’re not like me and don’t have any cork tiles available, you can find them at your local craft store like Michaels, Hobby Lobby, or Joann. You may even find some at CVS. Most cork tiles are 12×12, which means the biggest you can go in terms of embroidery hoop size is 11 inches. Make sure you have at least 13×13 inches of fabric per board though if you wish to cover your 11 inch hoops.

I love how these boards came out! They are so pretty and definitely shabby chic. I think I’m going to make myself two more cork boards sometime soon, since I have two boards left over from the four 12×12 boards. I just need to get myself two more embroidery hoops.

The nicest things can happen when you let go.

Growth is a series of push and pull, of holding on and letting go.

Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
