You didn’t think I threw away those doors off of the old wooden cabinet I showed you yesterday, did you?? Just because I took them off definitely doesn’t mean they won’t be repurposed again. But if you have been around here long enough – you probably know that! There are a zillion different ideas you could do to repurpose old cabinet doors. They are probably one of the most repurposed items in blogland. These cabinets doors had mesh insets that were magnetic so I thought creating a magnetic cork board would be a functional use of these old doors.
Supplies:
Old wood doors
spray paint (I used Krylon Dual in Classic Gloss Gray)
Scotch Blue Tape
Exacto Knife
Cork
Straight Edge
Hot glue gun
Fabric (I used Riley Blake’s Verona Collection: Verona Main Teal, Verona Leaves Gray, Verona Flowers Green)
Screw driver
metal brackets/screws
I-top button maker
1. After removing the doors I used Scotch Blue tape to mask off the chicken wire insets and then I gave it a quick spray with spray paint.
2. Using an Exacto knife and a straight edge I cut the cork to size to fit in the insets of the panel.
3. I cut the fabric larger than the cork and used hot glue to the wrap the fabric around the cork.
4. I then hot glued my fabric wrapped cork pieces into the coordinating insets.
5. Next I used some little metal brackets to attach the two doors together to create one larger board. I used two brackets one on each inset.
6. Using my I-Top Button Maker
I made some fabric buttons and then applied Gorilla Glue to adhere the magnets t the back.

A quick, easy and functional recycle that gives new use to old doors.
