Cover the cork side of your board with spray adhesive.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTV0jxqkVSIpYW_-LHry9H5h2UhbG9wOb86UN9zSJSNvMiGMagx6OV_ISUVRS5VdywJSye4otwlA-ix_odpZ5NFkgAth-1YRjEe9zxrBVLEUcGhzwlMd2VOoWNzcBHKR9UKDnsvYM-cI_7/s640/445.JPG" width="640" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /> 2. Apply a thin layer of cotton batting.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOJg73PdwdIZSpjPto3kXyWRiY6sRih3Q0snne54u9WE0ZfMlcpJMXyvvjVJSK_WYMVJ4Y_fbNhxvvLs1cafixksrjnnZxta0-1L_uacEA0LJOjMVZQa_6QWzCAkhOMqfSrxDlWh2dy1Rg/s1600/446.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOJg73PdwdIZSpjPto3kXyWRiY6sRih3Q0snne54u9WE0ZfMlcpJMXyvvjVJSK_WYMVJ4Y_fbNhxvvLs1cafixksrjnnZxta0-1L_uacEA0LJOjMVZQa_6QWzCAkhOMqfSrxDlWh2dy1Rg/s640/446.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />3.  Lay your linen out face down on a smooth flat surface and place your board cotton side down on top. Cut to size, leaving extra around the edges (Sorry about this blurry picture!).<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghe5NjqfDinW17gpXF-c-m8ql8jvyOkekpGyzs9OgHRDbvWQ-e_bLIuJpYlOYUc1qnhjLSzrJOhNgSFFx9Z3I-cAsVHgtyB23MV8rhtKegn5m8wewRxk-819HtMIaeUa1WkYze5QOmd_TO/s1600/448.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghe5NjqfDinW17gpXF-c-m8ql8jvyOkekpGyzs9OgHRDbvWQ-e_bLIuJpYlOYUc1qnhjLSzrJOhNgSFFx9Z3I-cAsVHgtyB23MV8rhtKegn5m8wewRxk-819HtMIaeUa1WkYze5QOmd_TO/s640/448.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />4. Begin to staple (I used a regular stapler) your fabric to the back of the board. Begin in the middle of each side and work your way out to the corners. Fold the corners as neatly as possible!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGNYdoxu-8ooAw6_tv_w_olKLumzzskOGKWsPn-mqznJey7AmnhyV3u8WVXkUnoSB0u0AedHN8NDop1yyvuq0JePIuwYzKNaVQjXA0eO_Nek8OgOPlJwd9d5yqq8Qjy-oWNEdytGT3Xmsx/s1600/449.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGNYdoxu-8ooAw6_tv_w_olKLumzzskOGKWsPn-mqznJey7AmnhyV3u8WVXkUnoSB0u0AedHN8NDop1yyvuq0JePIuwYzKNaVQjXA0eO_Nek8OgOPlJwd9d5yqq8Qjy-oWNEdytGT3Xmsx/s640/449.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn5wpuaId2VpJdpQkmA-sMSXRy-1zM66uHnccCP_CQeyvL-TcI_mccbhQPwL6G2SlefOFfXNWRjA5UjfACsUsGBfiFDtoDEBKMm44A560P7sVGBTPkvAri9_TVUZ6uwF7ei1ykxz5SJGSY/s1600/450.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn5wpuaId2VpJdpQkmA-sMSXRy-1zM66uHnccCP_CQeyvL-TcI_mccbhQPwL6G2SlefOFfXNWRjA5UjfACsUsGBfiFDtoDEBKMm44A560P7sVGBTPkvAri9_TVUZ6uwF7ei1ykxz5SJGSY/s640/450.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />5. Time to add ribbon! This part takes a bit of playing around to get the angles and measurements right.  Once you've got it laid out, staple the ribbon in place on the back side.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8SX7UcPc9joR54VuLnfYoc9BJZ2KXsPS-mjiS98W6q9g4rq1M6Lu8Qm5Ir6aYP1rm_qOQwC1qKe9o5oLWZavuP7ZUj7Z5jTvanoEN2upRpYWoLs29A8AtVmibV5b9Xk3dUkXtBwQhYOd2/s1600/453.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8SX7UcPc9joR54VuLnfYoc9BJZ2KXsPS-mjiS98W6q9g4rq1M6Lu8Qm5Ir6aYP1rm_qOQwC1qKe9o5oLWZavuP7ZUj7Z5jTvanoEN2upRpYWoLs29A8AtVmibV5b9Xk3dUkXtBwQhYOd2/s640/453.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJKeXmgX6cmjDJTO4q2kmNbfcyNkj0MWGPav7K8KxSKoo4FYK_xCCRAoMbvL1xzUxFNg3WQa-L3pgsfzLt22iEqBLwPfZvKVmNHp4OvimsCIPtrkWx35m3U1tvpg1j6fUiCK00A0xDmNpJ/s1600/454.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJKeXmgX6cmjDJTO4q2kmNbfcyNkj0MWGPav7K8KxSKoo4FYK_xCCRAoMbvL1xzUxFNg3WQa-L3pgsfzLt22iEqBLwPfZvKVmNHp4OvimsCIPtrkWx35m3U1tvpg1j6fUiCK00A0xDmNpJ/s640/454.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />6.

Also, use the white out pen to cover the staples so they blend with the ribbon better).<br /><br />6. Add buttons of your choosing using a glue gun!
