A look into my Craft Room

I'm a sucker for a nice craft room, and luckily we have an extra room to spare right now, since I don't have any little ones yet. I know one day that will hopefully change so now I'm determined to have an awesome craft room because I'm sure sooner or later I won't have room for one anymore.
So here's a recent project I did that I am absolutely in love with and I strongly believe every good craft one show have one. On top of its usefulness, it also takes up very little space as well keeping everything very organized AND extremely easy to see and get to fast when your looking for something.

Here it is : Craft Peg Board


 


Cute right?


Here's what you need:
-Old Frame
-Paint for the Frame
-Peg Board Cut to the size of you frame
-Paint for the Peg Board
-Strong glue (gorilla glue)

I got a bunch of the very large frames from my dad that he had lying around his shop (lucky me huh?) My desk in my craft room is black so I first I painted the old Large frame completely black.
Next I choose a teal/blue color for the peg board. I got my peg board from Home Depot in the pre-cut sections of wood for only $5. I had them cut it even smaller to fit the size of my frame (which they do for free just have your measurements) Since spray paint has a tendency to just soak into the press board that peg board is made from, I first coated it with a white primer before actually spray painting it blue. 

After waiting until the frame and the peg board is completely dry, I then put a small line of glue around the entire inside of the frame. I laid the peg board down on the inside of the frame and Voila! After a couple minutes waiting until the glue dried I had myself a cute Peg Board for my craft room! 

I also bought a whole "Peg Board Accessory Kit" at Home Depot for only $12 that came with more than enough hooks, cups, jars and more! I love my peg Board and hope you do too!!
