I repainted a bulletin board that used to be bright red. I LOVE how it turned out. It will be pretty in the classroom too! Don’t you think?
This is what it used to look….cork board under the blue plastic I taped over it….red painted edges. |
It actually used to be gray in my hub’s office. But I took it home and painted it red. But I didn’t end up using it in the grandkiddie room. I made a giant chalk board instead. They love it so much!
And I covered it with fabric and ribbons and glittery butterfly pins…. |

Taping up the bulletin board with paper, trash bags, to cover up the cork portion. |
It use to be a fire engine red for a kiddie room….now I want it for my craft room since all my kiddos are grown and gone. |
Here is my painted bulletin board after I sprayed 2 coats of the Rustoleum spraypaint on it….You can see how I taped the edges with a trash bag and masking tape…. |
KILZ primer and Valspar are the best…they go on smooth . |
I covered the bulletin board with a kitchen trash bag and masking tape….not too bad for prep! |
Here were my 2 fabrics and my ribbon I wanted to use. |
I sewed the glittery, striped fabric onto 2 sides of the butterfly fabric….and cut it to fit the bulletin board…. |
Then when it was finished I added some embellishments….a couple of glittery butterflies and push pins. |

I bought some glittery, giant push pins at Hobby Lobby for my painted bulletin board redo. I put one in the center of each cute little flower. |
Finished bulletin board redo….it turned out just like I wanted. |
Well, don’t look too close at my bad sewing job though. It’s kind of hard to believe I’ve had 5 years of sewing in high school and college level, right? Yeah, I’ve gone downhill there. 😀
I think it will look great in my classroom this year! A LOT better looking than the plain red one. I love spray paint! |
