Recycled Bulletin Board

I did not want to "buy" a bulletin board for my desk so I looked around to see what we had on hand to make one

I had this white frame that I used in many ways for decorating. 

 

I had some cardboard and thin foam too in my "junk" box

I turned the frame around and added a piece of cardboard to it with glue 

I used the pushpins to hold the carboard until the glue set

 

Once the glue was dry... a few hours later I then turned the frame over

 

I then added the foam by gluing it down to the cardboard

I decided to use paper for the background so I added some PINK ribbon to the edges

I then just tacked the paper with button pushpins

 

And here it is ... all finished 

 

Nice cords eh!

I am pleased with the way it turned out...even though my desk is still CLUTTERED!

Ugh! keepin it real!

Pretty in Pink Desk Makeover

Here is my NEW desk... 

The hubby picked it up for me for $29.00 at Walmart.. 

It is just what I needed! 

A simple place  to put my laptop and a place to put some things I use when I am on my laptop

Right now it is a hodge podge of stuff that can be put elsewhere!

I ended up making a list of all the things I need when I am on the computer

Pens ~ Ruler (for etsy) ~ Notebook ~ Hand Sanitizer ~ Note Cards

That is really it!

All the rest is clutter~

I wanted a pink and white and black look and decided to create goodies that make me smile when I am at my desk

Here is the LINK to my notebook from  last week

And now here are two more projects that I created this week

Hand Sanitizer Bottle and

I did not peel off the label ~ I just covered over it like this

 

I put some tacky glue on the bottle and used the polka dot paper to cover it 

 

I added a strip of striped pink paper

 

Then a scallop of pink and a scallop of polka dot and a vintage button

BUT then I decided (before it was dry) that I wanted to add the black

 

So then to make the pen holder I took a pink bucket that I had for a long time 

I glued on a strip of ribbon

 

then some more chalkboard vinyl from the dollar tree

smoothed over the bumpiness

 

I created the same paper flower for the top of the bucket

Still to come... 

Cute sign and bulletin frame... in a VERY unconventional way!
