Did this the other day with a square cork board, leftover tea slips, sharpie and white acrylic paint. My father is English so I've grown up with teatime everyday in some form. Now that I'm in college I tend to have 2-4 cups of tea a day, so I thought I'd pay homage to it. Sealed the entire thing with gloss medium. Works great with tacks but I use it as a mat for the tea kettle.
