So, this was a little project that I wanted to do after going to an antique home in OKC. I deleted the photo that inspired me, but basically it was an antique frame with center that was burlap over a magnetic center.
I decided that it would be better to do a cork backing, that way we could use push pins and rather than magnets.
After a few hours of searching for the frame (Note: I found plenty of frames--just not for the price I wanted to pay), I stumbled across Lots of Furniture Antiques Warehouse and was able to negotiate the price for the gold frame below.
After purchasing the frame, I went to an art store and picked up a canvas that I could carve down to the appropriate size, Target to get the cork backing, and then my parents house to steal a burlap sack that we used to use for sack races.
I came home, carved the canvas, applied the cork backing and burlap and then nailed in the center to the frame.
Originally I had kept the frame gold, but then I purchased a mirrored dresser and the gold frame did not look good with the dresser, so I painted it grey.
Here it is!
