Teacher Appreciation Idea #1

We love our teachers! 

So here is an easy cork board project that I came up with to store all of those important notes! 

Ingredients

embroidery hoop

cork round (Ikea)

fabric

paint

ribbon (2 kinds)

twine

mini clothespins

wood circles

Start by drilling a hole in your cork round.  Then paint the hole a color that matches your fabric.

Next cut out 5 circles from your fabric to make the circles for the "notes" and glue them to the wood circles.

They should look like this:

When the paint is dry on the cork board glue down the fabric.. first on the top and then all the way around.

Then wrap the embroidery hoop in thick fabric.. I used grosgrain.  Tie a loop at the end.

Now tie the cork board circle to the embroidery hoop.

Last tie the twine string across the embroidery hoop and glue the letters to the clothespins. 

All you need now is a "note" from your child letting your teacher know how much they "appreciate" them~
