If you use tacks like the one below, you can glue two pieces of cork together, like I did...

On the photo below (not the best, but...) you see my 2 squared pieces of cork and the fabric. You will fold the fabric on the back and use hot glue. Don't forget to iron on fabric before to start this project and do not leave wrinkles on the front side. Pull it as much as you can. It has to be tight, be gentle with the cork!

You can do a nice hem for it, I did not. I was in a rush, I've been really busy with my children lately, they are full of energy, my home cleaning never ends and I don't have a maid. Ha!

Are you doing all right? Ok, now you take the magnet sheet and fix it the adesive side on the back side of the bulletin board. It must be smaller than the cork's size ( like half inch), because you don't wanna see the edges of the magnet showing around the edge of your bulletin board. I hope my English is not so bad!! Ugh! Do not glue the edges of the magnet, leave at least half inch free of glue, because you will need to stick the ribbons underneath the magnet sheet later.

Time for ribbons. Choose the sturdy ones. Satin ribbons are no good. They are suppose to hold your grocerie cupons, cards and whatever you stick on the fridge. To keep them on place, just use a pin while you attach them on the back with hot glue.

Attach ribbon underneath magnet sheet...

Finally the back of your bulletin board will look like this...

Last, tacks!

Voilà...
