roadrunner8310 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 (edited) I saw one of these a few months back and wanted to try it. When I found this empty case at a goodwill, it made the perfect opportunity to try this. I think if I do another one I will do a plastic cover for the pins inside instead of the fabric one. Overall very simple to do, once you get the cork cut to size. Thanks for taking a look! Edited July 7 by roadrunner8310 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTwins Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 @roadrunner8310 That's a great job! Absolutely love it! We've made these for some of our smaller collections, but usually just one-sided. The fabric or plastic between the pins is a good thought! We used the cork-covered foam core back when we made ours, though I think that is hard to find these days. What type of cork did you use? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner8310 Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 @TheTwins I used cork tiles. They are pretty thin so I glued a couple together and then just cut them to size. I also have some foam tiles that have a thin layer of cork on top that I am going to try on my next one. I also bought a thicker sheet of clear plastic, similar to a very heavy duty shower curtain to place between the sides. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, we've glued some of those together to make mini pin boards for our desks, etc., but not tried that in a VHS case. Can't wait to see one with the clear plastic. That's a great idea! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
