Step 1: Adhere your cork onto a piece of cardboard using glue or a spray adhesive to make it a bit sturdier.

Step 2: If you would like to make a dachshund cork board download and print my dachshund shape, then cut it out. Otherwise you can print out a photo of your own dog (making sure to enlarge it) and cut out around the shape.

Step 3: Using a sharpie trace around your stencil on your cork board.

Step 4: Cut out your cork board shape using an exacto knife.

Step 5: Place your frog tape in a striped pattern along the cork.

Step 6: Paint onto the cork between your tape with acrylic paint, when it’s dry peel away the tape.

Step 7: Cut a strip of ribbon to be used as a collar and staple or glue it to the cork on the back.

Now you’re ready to hang your cork board up and enjoy!

I’ve now got the perfect place to pin photos of all my girlfriends!
