Monogram Corkboard How-To
1. On your computer, download and print any font or letter you want to use for your corkboard. Enlarge to desired size. Cut out letter to use as a template.

2. Trace letter onto fiberboard. Use jigsaw to cut out shape. Sand edges to smooth.

3. Attach a sheet of cork to the front of the precut letter using a spray-mount adhesive on both the corkboard and fiberboard letter.

4. Cut out the cork into the proper shape using a utility knife.

5. Add color by using either a stain or by priming and painting the cork. Let dry.

6. Once letters are dry, add a matching twill tape to the edges using fabri-tape.
