ten projects in twenty days - dry erase board

Project Two :: Day Three

Custom Dry Erase Board

So.  I saw this dry erase board by Jen at A Thousand Words and I knew I had to try it.   

Which I did.  But Jen's version is way way way cuter.  

Still.  My version lives in my house with me so I love it. :)

I swear I took "before" and "during" pics, but I just can't find them.  So you'll just have to take my word for it.  I had a hand-me-down print from my in-laws which just happened to be 12 inches wide (scrapbook paper width).  Painted it white.  Used 8 strips of scrapbook paper.  The strip on the top is slightly taller than the rest.  Also, I used thin (like 1/3-inch) strips of white paper to create the stripes between the sections.  Jen had this on her version - not sure how she did it, but I wanted to recreate it.  Glued them all to the cardboard backer that came with the frame, reassembled, and that was it.


Couple of things.  I don't recommend using darker paper, as your dry erase marker will not show up in front of it.  Also?  I know that it's not spelled "margarita."  Or maybe it is.  You don't know.  Maybe I'm tossing my pasta with a margarita.  Which would actually be pretty disgusting.

Today it does not list the fake menu that was on it when I took these photos.    Now it has the list of my Ten Projects in Twenty Days projects, and looks very messy and very disorganized.  Still love it though.  I love that you can use any frame and any paper and make one of these.  So easy!
