Fleur de lis Cork Board

Most of the things I attempt to do are things I've seen on other blogs and fallen in love with and just have to try. This was one of my few original ideas. I started off with a frame I found at the Goodwill for a dollar. I tore it apart and sanded it. I was about to spray paint the frame black(I literally had it out back with the can in my hand ready to spray when I took a closer look at the frame and realized I really liked it the way it was. This is a departure for me since the first two of these I made(and sold without taking a picture...ugh!) were painted black.
$1 Frame
I also found a corkboard at the Goodwill for a dollar and it happened to fit perfectly. Usually I have to cut it with a box cutter. I cut a piece of burlap to cover the corkboard. I used a  Fleur de lis stencil and painted it black on burlap.
Once I was done with the burlap I glued it to the corkboard(lots of burned fingers:)
And here is the finished product!

I am linking up to the following parties:

I bought some burlap to decorate my Kindergarten son's Thanksgiving Feast table with but after that I think it will find a new life as this corkboard! Thanks for the wonderful idea!

Controllers may be designed to regulate AC pumps or DC pumps and they
may also be universal. Anyone who promises to use the solar panels to fend for a good portion of his household's electrical
needs is entitled to enjoy the solar panels rebate.

Leaving such claims to a side, this trend of utilizing the solar energy
to power a wheel chair certainly is a commendable one.
