Unroll the cork on a flat surface (a cutting mat is recommended), and place the template on top of the cork.

Using a craft knife, carefully cut around the edges of the template.

Step 6

To create a larger second wave shape, place the template on a new piece of cork. Arrange the first wave shape that you cut on top, but leave a 2-inch border around the edge.

Step 7

Cut around the edges on ​this side​ of the template with a craft knife. Then rearrange the template on the cork so you have another 2-inch border on the other side. You should now have a second wave shape that is two inches wider on ​each side​ than the first wave shape.

Step 8

Paint the cork pieces in your desired paint colors, and let dry. We used acrylic craft paint, but you can also use spray paint, chalk paint, or latex paint.

Step 9

Coat the back of the smaller wave piece with glue (we used liquid nails, but hot glue also works), and glue the two wave pieces together. Use heavy books or weights to keep the cork board flat while it dries.
