Sweet Magnolia Way: DIY Cloud Corkboards

Wow what a weekend! Layla's fourth birthday party was Saturday and we had an amazing time with lots of friends and family and gorgeous weather - finally!! I'm putting together a post about that for later this week so today i thought I'd share a quick DIY I did inspired by these cute little cloud corkboards.

The computer desk in our kitchen is the home of a lot of activity - school papers, reminders, invitations...just a lot of stuff. It was getting pretty messy and the lack of organization was driving me crazy so I thought adding a few corkboards to the wall behind the computer would help get things off the desk and keep me better on top of things.

Here's a shot of the desk BEFORE:

Just too much stuff laying around and stuck haphazardly up on the walls.

All you need to make few small/medium clouds is a roll of corkboard, scissors, a pencil, foam brush and some paint.

The supplies.

I drew a few clouds on the corkboard and cut them out. Since the cork was in a roll I put heavy books on the cloud shapes over night to flatten them. The next day I simply swirled white paint over the cork and let it dry for an hour or two.
