The first are some ribbon cork boards. This can be as easy as hot glueing some thick rick-rack ribbon around the edge of your board like the larger navy board below. The other board took a little more time, but was worth the effort.
For the smaller board I cut some scrap ribbon pieces about 2 1/2 inches long. (I've found that wired ribbon or thicker grosgrain ribbon work well for this. The glue tends to show through thinner ribbon.) I folded the ribbon in half and snipped one end to get an even V-shape. I left the other end of the ribbon pieces straight. Then I lifted the frame off of the cork just enough to tuck the straight ribbon end in between the frame and the cork. You can use a flat-head screwdriver to help with this step.
After the ribbon was tucked in I put a dot of hot glue on the frame and flattened the ribbon out over the frame. Repeat this process all the way around the board. Tucking in the ribbon makes a very clean edge as you can see in the picture below.
Here's one more little project... a personalized memo pad. Can you tell what these are made out of?
It's just a plastic picture frame from the dollar store with buttons and a sticky pad hot glued on. Then I finished it off by writing the names with paint pens. I think it would also be super cute to slip a piece of fabric in the frame and tie a ribbon at the top. You could leave off the sticky pad and it could be a mini dry erase board too!

oooh - I just found an entire box of those acrylic frames the other day (I'm pretty sure it was leftover from a bible study craft night...) and wondered what to do with them!! Awesome. :)
So cute! I love what a little ribbon or buttons and some hot glue can do. :)
I love that little personal notepad - how cute...and creative!

What a great idea for the notepads!
I made some corkboards a few years ago and painted the cork part... but the ribbon would have really been a great finishing touch! Good idea!
ummmm--- I like the name on that note pad example.... am I about to get a surprise?! ;)
Darling...love the ribbons and buttons!!!
