How’s a gal supposed to keep track of auditions, home projects, and other stuff with an office that is located in the vortex of gravity for all dark matter in the known universe?? A new and improved idea board might do the trick. Hiring a Klingon secretary may also help.
Overflowing with Ideas
Brigitte’s old corkboard of ideas was too confining for her creativity. Living in the vortex of gravity for all the dark matter in the known universe can have that effect. So she came up with a solution that will allow her mind to keep expanding.
- You can purchase large panels of cork and MDF trim to make a frame for the board.
- On your wall, measure the area for the panels and frame. Use a level make sure any lines you draw are straight.
- Dry fit the cork panels to the space you just measured before your apply any adhesive to the wall or board. Mark the spots on the wall where the panels will go. The panels will cut easily with a utility knife if you have to trim them to fit.
- When stirring and applying the contact cement, make sure your windows are open.You don’t want to be so dazed and confused you end up trying to shove the cork panel into a bottle of wine.
- Using a paint roller, roll the cement onto the wall and onto the back of the cork panels.
- Apply the panels to the wall and use a joint roller to roll over and press down on the seams.
- To add a frame, cut and measure your MDF trim. First, using glue and nails, secure thin strips of wood around your cork panels. You will be able to glue and nail your MDF into this wood.
- Don’t forget to glue the joints at the corners of your frame. Glue and hammer each side into place around the cork panels.
- To cover the seams and create sections for your board, measure and cut thin strips of wood to fit over the seams.
- Fill the corkboard with assorted photos, phone numbers on scraps of paper, and Dilbert cartoons.
