Paint one side and the edges of each trivet with white paint. Allow that to dry and apply a second coat if needed for complete coverage.

After the paint dries, use masking tape to create wide stripes on each trivet. Brush a thick layer of Mod Podge over each open stripe area.

Once your DIY cork boards are dry, apply several coats of Mod Podge on top of the sparkly stripes and cork to seal them.

I love how this gives an often unused area of the room a purpose.

Oh, and to add more golden shine, I just used simple brass thumb tacks to hold up my notes and pictures.
