This creative memory board is easy to make and provides a place for you to honor your child's sports memorabilia.  This cork Hall of Fame  can be used to display pictures, awards, and newspaper clippings gathered during a season or over the years.  It is also a great decorative item for their bedroom

Materials needed

Sports T-shirt or uniform jersey
• Craft knife
• cork panels (purchase at an office supply store)
• Double-sided carpet tape
• Thumbtacks

1. Choose an outgrown sports T-shirt or uniform jersey, trace its outline on a large piece of cardboard, and cut out the shape with a craft knife (parents
only).

2. Cover the entire cardboard shape with cork panels, using double-sided carpet tape to secure the cork. The cork won't fit exactly, so trim the excess with a craft knife or scissors, then use the scrap pieces and more tape to fill in the sleeves.

3. Decide which side of the jersey you'd like to display and cut the shirt down the middle of the other side. Stretch the jersey taut around the cork form and use thumbtacks and more carpet tape to affix the cut opening to the back of the cardboard.

Pin your memorabilia to the board with Fun Tacks.  Transform a handful of old-fashioned thumbtacks (ones with flat metal heads) by with cool sports beads or buttons.  Simply hot glue the bead/button to the head of the thumb tack.
