Materials:
• Old medicine or kitchen cabinet

Instructions:
• Remove the cabinet (or just the doors) from the wall and work on a flat surface.
• If you're painting the cabinet, prime and paint the edges and molding.
• Leave the face of the cabinet unpainted, since it will be covered with cork.
• Measure the face of the cabinet.
• If the cabinet has molding, measure the space between the raised edges.
• Cut the cork to your measurements.
• Quickly apply a grid of glue dots with the gun, particularly around the edges.
• Adhere the cork to the face of the cabinet.
• Place heavy objects, like books, on top of the cork until it sets.
• If you want to finish the edges of the cabinet, you can install molding on the edges.
