How To... Reuse a Coffee Sack as an Office Board

102108_sz_coffeesack.jpg Any way you can avoid having your home office look like a display at Staples is worth looking into. Maya*Made has a great project that involves turning a burlap coffee beans sack into a mounted cork board. Rather than covering her bulletin board with fabric, Maya staple gunned a sack from her local roaster around cork board. She then mounted it above her desk and now has a unique looking place to tack up ideas, inspirations, and reminders.

My parents own a roaster, so my husband pilfered several bags of coffee to hang on the walls in his office (no photos, sorry.) Never thought of wrapping cork with them. Maybe we'll upgrade them...
