I was tinkering around my sorority house’s basement and found some old frames. These frames are not just any frames. These frames are HUGE. They used to border the sorority composites from years ago. They have since been trashed in the basement, disassembled into four pieces. With some simple handy work and a fresh coat of paint, these are prime subjects for family room appropriate bulletin boards! 
That is exactly what I am doing. I work as a personal assistant for a family who is so generous. Cindy and George are wonderful employers and I find it more than appropriate to give them a meaningful gift for the holidays. Cindy is a new Grandma to not one but THREE babies, so you know that her camera has been attached to her hand. As a project, she wants me to store all of her pictures, but I’m going to surprise her with a GIANT bulletin board!
This project is pretty basic and you can refer back to my Thrift Store Frame = Chic Decor Bulletin Board post. The only part that may require some craft coordination is assembling the giant piece of bulletin board to go behind the frame.
You’ll need to measure the frame and trim pieces of adjoining foam board to fit. Using spray adhesive, adhere cork board to the foam board. 
After joining the surfaces, you’ll need to reinforce the back foam board with smaller planks of foam board over the cracks. This prevents the pieces from bending.
Then you simply glue your new bulletin into the frame!
I’ll probably paint their family name on the cork board before I gift it!
Because frames this big are impossible to find, If I plan on making another, I’ll probably need to make my own frame. You can go to Home Depot or Lowe’s and buy chair rail as big or small as you want your bulletin board. Simply apply craft glue to the flat side of the chair rail and glue around your piece of bulletin board to “frame” it. This method would probably be much easier than using an actual frame.
Happy hunting and gleeful giving!
