Welcome to the Summer of Paper series – where we’ve invited fabulous guests to create projects using supplies from my Home + Made paper decor line.
Hi! I’m Laura Bray and I’m so excited to share a creative way to get your business organized.
I’m a professional craft designer, writer, and illustrator. I inspire creative women to live a life of balance & simplicity by sharing my modern twist on traditional home arts. Whether you stitch, cook, are raising children or just want to be a better homemaker, you are sure to find great tips and tutorials on my blog at Laura Bray Designs.
As a busy wife, mother, and creative entrepreneur, staying organized and inspired is really important. I don’t have a lot of time to work on my business, so when it is time to get to work; I need to know what needs to be done so I can get going right away. I created an inspiring business organization corkboard for my office using Jen’s new Home+Made line of paper crafting supplies. Now when I come into my office to sneak in a little work, I know exactly what needs to be done. Plus it’s super cute and crafty!
Supplies:
- Corkboard from an office supply store. Mine measures 34″ x 24″, but just choose the size that works for you!
- Jen Hadfield’s Home+Made paper crafting supplies from Pebbles, Inc.
- Craft Glue
To put together your business corkboard:
- Dress up the edge of the boring frame of your corkboard by cutting 1″ strips of paper and gluing them to the frame of the corkboard.
- Use paper to create different focal areas on the corkboard. I have 3 streams of income; blogging, teaching, and illustration, so I created 3 areas on my corkboard.
- Use Home+Made chalkboard stickers to label your business areas. Using chalkboard stickers allows for lots of freedom to change your mind.
- Glue Home+Made golden metal clips to hold papers and notes.
- Use Home+Made kraft pocket tags to hold business receipts.
- Use the Home+Made thickers to create an inspiring motto for your business corkboard!
See how fun it is to organize your business? You could also use these tips to create a corkboard to keep your household organized or use it as a homework center. It’s artful organization at its finest!
Thanks for having me today Jen!
