Decorative cork boards make great presents and are perfect if you are stuck for some ideas. If your kids love sticking their artwork to your walls, why not make them their own unique bulletin board. You can decorate it with their favorite character from a TV show or perhaps their favorite style. Girls tend to love sequins and sparkles whereas boys may favor football or baseball, although some also love the sparkly effect.
It is a very easy present to make and all the materials you will need are readily available. If you have a staple gun at home, you could make fabric bulletin boards in either a flat or quilted shape. Your imagination is the only thing limiting the style and shape of this present.
If you are not handy with your hands or the thought of giving a handmade present doesn't sit right with you, you can buy decorative cork boards for your children, grandchildren or other people. You can find colored versions, ones with stenciled names and ones covered in appliqué.
These notice boards are not just for kids though. If you visit any office or school reception you are bound to see some in use as they are so handy to use as a notice board or a reminder. I know that people use email now more so than post it notes but there are still occasions when you have to remind people of something and it needs to be on public display.
In addition to making decorative cork boards, cork is used to tile floors, insulate homes for warmth and noise reduction, provide safety floors in kindergartens and some people even use it in aquariums. People are now much more conscious of our environment and the harvesting of cork does not lead to deforestation.
