Today was super successful. I have a frame I got for a $1 at my friend's garage sale (yes, the same one where I bought my coffee table). I had originally been thinking of painting it black and leaving it empty on the wall in a collage of other pics and frames - but then it just seemed perfect for a do-it-yourself dry erase board.
The Pintrest idea is to take a simple frame with a glass and put pretty paper behind it for your board. Viola! So I had my frame picked out and found a random bit of wrapping paper that was already the perfect size. It took two seconds to have my dry erase board complete. Love that I have stuff laying around that can be re-assembled into functional art.
I was going to find some generic scrap of paper to be the backing but when I saw the wintery one I was like, 'Yes! I can change it out with the seasons if I want!' It just makes the whole thing more versatile.
I would have liked to have a picture of the completed work but the frame was too tacky to the touch by the time I had to leave my mom's. Thankfully I had already taken a picture of what it will basically look like when its done. Funny that for as quick as this project came together today - I'm posting this so late! Well, we're busy people - what can I say?
***EDIT: I finally got the frame back today (10/4) and put it all together! I'm very please with how it turned out. ***
