Ready for a craft so simple your kids could do it? If you don't even have a tiny crafty bone in your body, this one's for you!
I'm sure you've already seen these all over the web, but if you've never actually made one, stop what you're doing right now and go do it. Seriously. It'll take you five minutes. I didn't take step-by-step photos because, let's face it, it's too simple for that.
I've been wanting to make a dry erase board using a photo frame for some time, so I finally did it last night. How much was this project? $0. Yep, that's Z-E-R-O. I already had everything around the house, and whether you're a crafter or not, I'm sure you have what you need as well (with the exception of a dry-erase marker, maybe).
Round up a photo frame, a piece of scrapbook paper or cardstock (and if you don't have that, wrapping paper or even newspaper would work fine too), scissors (preferably a cutting board if you have that), an embellishment of some sort (unless you want it extra simple), and a dry-erase marker. My embellishment was the perfect way to use felt flowers and leaves I recently tried making. I may add these flowers to my
Etsy shop later on.
Simply cut your paper to size, insert it in the frame, attach an embellishment somewhere on the front of the frame, and write on it. Now you have the answer to that constant, nagging question from your hubby and/or kids, "What's for dinner?" Just point to the menu.
Of course, you can use it for other purposes. Things on your to-do list, a party sign, etc. You can change out the paper inside depending on the holidays or seasons. Whatever you want. Just be sure and make one!
If you try this out, take pictures and share them.
