Dry Erase Boards

by Tonya Grant |Filed Under: Organisation, Paper Tagged With: Home, Organisation, Repurposing Get a Weekly Update of all Articles

 

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.

    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

    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.
