Dry Eraser Board

Dry Eraser Board
Look what I did...


I love this frame and didn't really have anything to put in it so I decided to create a board that I could write on that didn't look like a chalkboard.  This is such an easy thing to do!  I was amazed.  I can't remember where I read about how to do it or I would definitely give them a plug here.

All you have to do is select a frame of any size of you're choosing.( I used an 11" x 14")  Remove the back of the frame and using a piece of sturdy cardboard or a piece of a shipping box, cut to the size of the frame.  Cut a piece of fabric that is about 3 inches larger than the cardboard and wrap it around the cardboard and secure it with tape.  The glass is placed over the fabric covered cardboard just like a picture would be.  Put the frame back together and Voila!  You can remove the marker with a paper towel. A dry eraser board that offers a bit of color and something better than a plain old chalkboard.


This will give you something to "crow about".

  2. What a great idea! It looks wonderful and you're right, something a bit different than a plain chalk board:)

    BTW, I did notice you had an Etsy shop the other day and already added it to my Etsy faves:)

  7. I love the look Kris, but I too was a bit confused about how it's a dry eraser board. Is there a sealer on the fabric?
