Old baking tins or lids can easily be re-purposed into cork pin boards. Once you have made your cork pin boards, stick some self-adhesive hangers on the back of the tins or lids to mount onto the wall above your desk.

 

 

YOU WILL NEED:

Roll of cork

Self-adhesive picture hangers

Pattex No More Nails adhesive

Rust-Oleum 2X satin canyon black

 

 

TOOLS:

Cordless screwdriver

Cutting adapter or craft knife and cutting mat

Tape measure and pencil

 

 

 

 

HERE'S HOW:

 

 

 

 

1. Measure the diameter of the bottom of your baking tins or lids.

 

 

2. Transfer the measurement onto your cork sheet and cut out with a Bosch IXO and cutting attachment, or use a craft knife and cutting mat.

 

 

 

 

3. Spray the baking tins or lids with a couple of coats of Rust-Oleum 2X in satin, canyon black. Only apply light even coats and let the first coat dry thoroughly before applying the second coat.

 

 

4. Place a bead of adhesive around the inside base of the tin or lid and press your cut cork circles firmly in place.
