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

To make a Vintage Wood Shutter Cork Board You Will Need:

4 Vintage Wood Shutters

Power Drill

½ inch drill bit

Sheet of pine Plywood

Sheet or roll of cork board

Spray Adhesive

Scissors or exacto knife

Tape measure

Now, the first set is to measure how long your Vintage Wood Shutters are. You and do this simple project with mini Vintage Wood Shutters as well.

Now, have you sheet of plywood cut into a square that is about three inches linger and wider than your Vintage Wood Shutters are long. So, if your shutter is 30 inches long, then you will want your plywood square to be 33 inches by 33 inches.

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

If you have any leftover cork board, then you can cut strips to glue onto the edge of your plywood board. Just measure the length and width, cut the cork board 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 a wood glue if you want.

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

Now, take your four Vintage Wood Shutters and drill a hole in each end of the shutter. I like to tape my baseball bats down on a flat work surface and then drill a hole in about 2 inches form each end. Make sure the holes are in the same place on each shutter.
