This is one of those projects that is just too easy not to do. It's fun and functional, I bet you've got everything on hand right now. Here is what you'll need if you decide to do one too:Spray adhesive
Medium to Large frame with glass
Fabric of your choice
Dry Erase Markers
I found this frame while thrifting and knew it would be a great size for this project (it's a 16X20 size). What I really liked about it was the non-glare glass, that stuff is pricey at a frame shop. First, I took the frame apart and sprayed the frame black. Then I sprayed the cardboard backing with the spray adhesive and smoothed the fabric on. This is the fabric I had left from the iron-on art project, but you can use anything. Just make sure it's pretty low pattern so you can read what you write on the glass. I put in the glass and the fabric backing and it is ready to use! Easy Peasy! Use dry erase markers and it works just like a regular dry erase board, but a lot prettier!
I just wrote a bunch of seasonal inspired words, subway style. I like the handwriting with the look of the script of the Trick or Treat sign. The sign is available in my Etsy Shop, by the way.

This is such a cute idea...and you can change out the fabric to go with the season! I might just have to try this :) Thanks for the wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteWonderful and you could change the fabric on a whim. I always wondered how to spell easy peasy, but you messed me up by spelling it two different ways. I guess just so it rhymes.
ReplyDeleteNope, I just accidentally mispelled it! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE this idea!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! Such a great idea! I am definitely keeping an eye out for a good frame @ goodwill!
ReplyDeleteTotally doing this! I have a closet full of frames just waiting for a project! Now where will I put it.....hummm?

ReplyDeleteI just had a big duh moment when I saw this...of course...I've used chalk ink on my glass but never though of something this simple for a dry erase board. You are too clever and of course it is in one of my favorite themes....wow, think how you could use this at Christmas as well. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have got to try this! Thank for the inspiration.

I love it and I'm tempted to make one myself but realize that mine would never look this good because you have beautiful handwriting...and I do not. I'd love it if you came and linked this up to my Halloween Party though because I'm sure there are plenty of people who do have great handwriting that would enjoy this. :-)
