Cost estimate: $30 and up (Does not include labor costs or applicable taxes, which vary by market)
Time estimate: Less than 1 day
1. Sand the edges of a square piece of plywood until smooth.
2. With a foam roller, prime and then paint the plywood with two coats of the color of your choice. Allow it to dry between coats.
3. If desired, repeat Step 2 to prime and paint the cork squares in a contrasting color.
4. Arrange the cork squares on the plywood to determine placement, offsetting them about 1/2-inch from the board's edges. Use the foam mounting squares included to attach the cork to the board.
5. Attach mounting hardware to go with the appropriate fasteners for your wall type and hang.
