How To: Make a Retro-Inspired, 8-bit Cork Board

created at: 07/19/2010

We’re so over drab bulletin boards and memo keepers. There are simply too many cool DIY options that a simple natural cork in a blonde wood frame simply won’t do anymore – try  this for a double duty dry erase board, or this for the standard cork and pushpin combo.

Or, perhaps you’d like a bit of a narrative in your reminder and inspiration substrate. If so, we recommend this Pac-Man cork board project by Dominator 24. He used the free, open source photo software GIMP to create the templates, then transferred the image onto cork tiles, and cut them out with scissors.
