[Nfb-krafters-korner] Cork backing

[Eileen Scrivani]

Hi Susan:

Thanks for mentioning hardware stores!  I asked my wood-working husband and 
what do you know, we have it in the house.  He has the cork on sheets with a 
peel off backing so I don't even have to glue it on since it already has the 
self-adhesive backing.  All I have to do is cut out the shape I want.  There 
are also felt and velvet self-adhesive backings that you can purchase in 
sheets through wood-working supply places.

Eileen
