Dry Erase Boards

I’ve been seeing some great dry erase boards around the Blogosphere made from photo frames.
So here’s my version 😉
I used a couple of big frames from Sam’s Warehouse (kind of like a dollar shop)
I used the backing page behind the mount board
as my guide and covered it with a selection of scrapbooking papers.
Then put the frames back together and hang!
I kept the original mount board with the cut-outs in the back of the frame for easy storage.
I’ll use one for my shopping list and the other for notes and messages.
I also bought a couple of white board markers
and attached them with Velcro dots,
so they’ll be right there when I need them.

  1. That really is a fabulous idea! I'm going to do that. I've been looking for a whiteboard for ages, but this is a much better way of doing it. I can personalise it and make it a lot prettier and have it the size I want.
    Thanks for sharing T. xx

  3. I love yours! I want to do some too. Not sure where to put them in my house though. I like the colored paper you picked.

  4. I've never seen these before! Very clever! Visiting from Just Something I whipped up link party

  5. Ahhh…but of course! What a clever idea. Your's are the first I've seen. I'll have to make some as well. Great job!

  6. Those are great! I love how cute they are and how they can fit any decor. Much cuter than plain old white! 🙂 Stopping over from Something I Whipped Up Monday!

  9. Your boards look great! I have a menu one but need to make another for a shopping list! Thanks so much for joining the Sunday Showcase Party! I greatly apprecite it. Hope you are enjoying your week. ~ Stephanie Lynn

  10. These turned out great. I made one last week and wasn't sure if I would really use it and I have. I love that they're functional and pretty!

  20. I love picture frame dry erase boards. So much. And yours are so cute- especially the long narrow one! Perfect for lists, right?

    Also, velcro dots for the markers? Genius.

    Thank you for participating in the Creative Therapy Session at Life in the Pitts.
