Choosing A Corkboard for Your Prayer Board Kit

The corkboard pictured in our listings can be purchased on Amazon. It is a gorgeous farmhouse-inspired board with a white frame and beige linen fabric covering the cork. For a more dramatic feel, consider this black corkboard from Amazon.

Another option is to purchase a basic cork board from a big box store - like this one from Wal-Mart. You can use it as-is. Or dress it up by painting the frame or covering the cork with a fabric you love. This video offers some tips that you might find helpful. 

Organizing the Components of Your DIY Prayer Board

Before you start putting your prayer board together, it’s a good idea to organize all the pieces from your DIY Prayer Board Kit. This will help you see what you have and make the process smooth and fun. Here’s how to get started:

1️⃣ Unpack Your Kit
Lay out all the items from your kit on a clean, flat surface. You’ll find:

• The laser-engraved P-R-A-Y banner with jute string and wood beads.
• Five envelopes in your chosen colors.
• Push pins, clothespin tacks, and the assembled pocket with blank prayer sheets.
• Pre-adhered text pieces featuring Bible verses, prayer quotes, and wildflower designs.
• A tape glue runner for easy assembly.

2️⃣ Visualize Your Layout
Before attaching anything to the corkboard, try arranging the pieces on the surface.

• Position the banner at the top or center as a focal point.
• Experiment with where to place the envelopes and text pieces.
• Decide how much space you’ll need for the pocket of blank prayer sheets.

3️⃣ Prepare for Assembly
Keep the tape glue runner and push pins handy so you can secure each item as you go. This will save time and help you stay organized.

Taking a little time to organize your kit will make the rest of the process quick and easy. Plus, it’s a great way to start thinking about how you want your prayer board to reflect your heart and faith!

Designing Your Prayer Board 🙏🏻

One of the best parts of creating your DIY prayer board is making it your own! This is your special space for prayer and reflection, so let it reflect your unique personality and style. Here are some ideas to help you customize your prayer board:

1️⃣ Add Patterned Paper
Choose patterned paper that matches the colors and style of your room or prayer space. You can use it as a background for the envelopes or as a decorative border around the edges of the corkboard. Get creative! Check out our prayer board ideas on 📌 Pinterest 📌 for some inspiration.

2️⃣ Incorporate Stickers or Washi Tape
Add a playful or elegant touch with stickers or washi tape. You could use floral designs, faith-based stickers, or even simple patterns that match your theme. Stickers can be placed near Bible verses or quotes, while washi tape can create frames or borders for different sections.

3️⃣ Brighten It Up with Lights
Battery-powered string lights are a simple way to make your board feel warm and inviting. Drape them around the edges of the corkboard or weave them around the P-R-A-Y banner for a beautiful glow.

4️⃣ Showcase Personal Touches
Include your own photos, handwritten notes, or mementos that hold special meaning. These personal elements will make your prayer board even more inspiring and unique.

The beauty of your prayer board is that there’s no right or wrong way to design it. Whether you keep it simple or go all out with decorations, it’s all about creating a space that brings you joy and draws your heart closer to God. Have fun, get creative, and let your prayer board reflect your faith and creativity!
