Vintage Book Cork Board Frame Project

This simple Vintage Book corkboard craft project is a great way to add some vintage designed storage on your wall. Look for vintage books on sale at your local library. They often sell vintage or vintage looking books once a year at an annual sale.

This simple Vintage Book corkboard is perfect for a child's room or even a home office. You can hang it over the desk a have some great vintage art to look at while you work!

You can make this simple Vintage Book cork board for about $40 or less. You can make it for a lot less if you already have some Vintage Book you don't mind drilling a hole in.

To make a Vintage Book Board You Will Need:

Vintage Books

Power Drill

½ inch drill bit

Sheet of pine Plywood

Sheet or roll of corkboard

Spray Adhesive

Scissors or exacto knife

Tape measure

Now, the first set is to decide how large you want to make your corkboard.

Now, have you sheet of plywood cut into a square. I like to first lay out my frame of vintage books, that way I know they will fit. Measure them and then have your wood cut.

Now, cut out your sheet for corkboard to 33 inches by 33 inches, or whatever sizes your plywood square is.

If you have any leftover corkboard, then you can cut strips to glue onto the edge of your plywood board. Just measure the length and width, cut the corkboard and glue with the following directions.

Now, lay you sheet of cork board out on a flat surface. Lightly spray it with a good quality spray adhesive, the kind that come in an aerosol can. You could also use wood glue if you want.

Now, place your corkboard on the plywood sheet. Line the edge up and press it into place.

Now, take your Vintage Books, open then up to just inside of the cover.

Drill a hole in thought the middle of each book. I like to tape my Vintage Book down with the cover open on a flat work surface and then drill a hole in and all the way through. Make sure the holes are in a place that will line up with your frame or edge.

You can pre determine this by laying out your books to see how you would like them to be laid out.
