DIY Corkboard Jewelry Holder

Hello friends! Here is the latest little project i did. I did it out of frustration that my necklaces and bracelets would get tangled up together. if you gals know what I'm talking about you know how it feels when your in a rush trying to get ready and you have a Ball of jewelry to try and untangle. So with that said i found 4 cork boards in my closet that i purchased about 2 years ago ( 2 years! i know right) anyways here is  what you will need to make one for yourself . Also FYI I love mine.Enjoy !



Materials Needed
-glue gun & 2 glue sticks
-3 Cork boards
-paint & paint brush ( your choice)
- ribbon ( any size)
- knobs( your choice)
-brads
-scissors
-thumb nails

Notes: Use a thick cork board if you have heavy jewelry about 1/4 of an inch thick. Tape the inside before painting to avoid paint smudges on the cork board<------something I should have done  i made a paint mess..

Cork Boards


Folk art paint





paint the edges of the board


2Knobs


Apply hot glue on the back of each knob


attach the knob press for about 5 sec.
apply glue at the top corners to hold the ribbon


place the ribbon on top of the hot glue then apply more glue on top of the ribbon


the result .let it dry for 5 min

The brads and thumb nails i used . you can find both at your local arts & crafts store

the back of a brad

cut the brads (legs)be careful they fly out
apply glue to the back of the brad make sure its nice and flat

quickly press the back of the thumb nail on the glued side of the brad



Finish your project with any design you like get creative or leave it as simple as you want. Then hang them .

Hungry for food and want a fun view for you and your family? Well my favorite and my kids favorite "Rain Forest Cafe" the name says it all a restaurant,Bar,& store in the theme of a rain forest. Its filled with animatronics such as Gorillas,elephants, birds & trees. It is an exciting experience for children and adults. I personally love the food there is plenty to choose from. You pay for what you get the plates are large and even the kids menu is plenty for one or two children. My favorite is their rotisserie chicken and their poatao chips. Recently we bought our membership that includes some nice perks like 10% off the store & 10%of the bill or appetizer. They have a promotion going on for the membership here is the link so you can check it out on your own   http://www.rainforestcafe.com/safariclub.asp .  I like it because we can use it at any of their chain restaurants and coming this August will be going to the Rainforest Cafe in Disneyland.

MInimalism & why it works for us

Image
My family and I are almost close to our 1 year of becoming a minimalist family (family of 5). Just as we are approaching the new year in about 5 hours, I'm sitting back reflecting on how and why I decided to take the leap into this new mindset and living. I was tiered.... that's the best way to describe it. sometimes I would sit back and think, Am I lazy? am I so disorganized that these rooms cant stay clean for more than 5 days? How and why did I buy all this stuff? Where is all my money going? I guess you can say the frustration was so overwhelming that I knew there had to be a better way But to be honest I didn't take the first step. My daughter took it for me. She wanted to earn money and I told her if she can clean her shared room up we had a deal. well she did just that she cleaned up her shared space. She bagged everything!! she bagged everything that was hers  as Donation and garbage!except her brothers stuff which she put aside for him to decide. She le

For the Cars Fans

This post is specially for all the little Cars fans. We went to visit the Disney store in San Francisco because we were told that only in that Disney store & Disneyland your child can build there own car which was  inspired by the Movie Cars 2 . I have seen something similar at Disneyland but not with any of the characters in the movie. So basically you purchase the Car and any car parts that you will like, it varies from mufflers , lights, rims, wheels etc. The  price of the car ranges since they also have remote controlled ones. Once you purchase the Car and parts you can choose to either take it home to assemble it or ( My favorite) part is that your child can assemble it in the store where they provide a little mechanics section . Below are some pictures I took inside the store.                                                          Address : 39 Stockton St                                                                        San Francisco, Ca
