Dry Erase Board

This one is so easy-peasy!


Here's what you'll need:

  • Lightweight Dollar Tree 8"x10" picture frame
  • 1 sheet of scrapbook paper
  • 5 neodymium magnets (if you want to hang it on your refrigerator, 1 magnet if you don't)
  • Dry erase marker with magnet on pen case
  • E6000 glue
  • Scissors or paper cutter
  • Any embellishments you want to add
These are much stronger than the regular black button magnets.
If you hang on the refrigerator, you need to use this type to keep the frame from sliding down.
Not even sure if instructions are needed, but here you go:

STEP 1: Remove back from frame. If you're going to hang it on the refrigerator, remove the stand or cut it down so it doesn't extend past the frame.

STEP 2: Cut the scrapbook paper to fit the frame. You can use the frame insert as a template. Insert the paper on top of the glass, followed by the inserts and ending with the reattaching the back.

STEP 3: Glue the magnets to each corner of the frame on the back. Allow the glue to set. Flip the frame over to the right side and glue another magnet to the side or bottom of the frame. This will be for your dry erase pen.

STEP 4: Add any embellishments or leave plain. Up to you! When the glue has completely set - about 24 hours - you can hang on your refrigerator. 

DONE!
