Do you mean the paint bubbled on top of the cork? That would happen if the spray was too heavy. That’s why it’s best to do several very light coats of the paint.

I think covering my cork with fabric will work better than painting for my application. Thanks for the idea.

Yes, if they are going to be used as coasters and not have pins stuck in them, they should be sealed. Otherwise the paint might peel off when it got wet.

It might work, but you wouldn’t get a smooth surface to write on, so any writing on it would probably be a little wonky and hard to read. 🙂

I’d still go with a color closer to the natural cork to hide the little holes. Have fun!

Saw something in wood being sold at a store that had several rows of twine strung across the width, and attached to that were some bulldog clips to hook whatever to it. Small clips…found some grassy looking twine at Michaels tonight and I may try to recreate the concept…
