DIY: Picture Frame Dry Erase Board

I've been wanting to do this little project for ages now.  So let's get started :)

Picture Frame Dry Erase Board


Supplies:
  • Big picture frame (at least big enough so you have space to doodle on)
  • Scrapbook paper
  • Finishing details (I'm using glitter stickers and accents found at Michaels Craft store)
  • Glue (super glue is faster than regular craft glue as I found out)
  • Scissors or paper cutter
  • Dry erase marker

Fit your chosen scrapbook paper to the frame and cut.  You may need to trim it a little.  This is where the paper cutter came in super handy!  Found this one at Joann's for a great price ( Cricut paper trimmer)  
The great thing about this dry erase board is that you can instantly change out the look of the background since it is a picture frame.  The options are endless! 


Since my scrapbook paper was a little short for the entire frame I decided to seat it along the bottom.




Now you can add the details to really personalize your project:
I like to "dry fit" everything before even thinking about using adhesive.


Now carefully glue the details onto the frame.  I stuck the glitter stickers right on the glass in the area at the top to fill in that empty white space.  The flare corner details took a little bit of time.  After first trying craft glue to stick the cardboard accents on, I switched to gel super glue.  That shnick is so awesome and fast!  Unlike regular super glue it doesn't ooze everywhere.  Since it's a gel it'll stay in the area you direct it to.


All you have to do now is prop it up and write out your thoughts for the day/week/month or whatever!!! :)

Say "No!" to boring white boards!



Have fun crafting it up!!!
