Keep Cats Out of Outdoor Planters
By Spacecase

This is an easy way to spice up your corkboard. You can change the fabric to suit the room environment. For instance for a baby/toddler's bedroom, I used a whale fabric. You could hang your child's artwork, photos, or awards on it while also having the cork board be a piece of art for the room!

By Jackie H.
