I made a dry erase menu board for our kitchen counter. It was extremely easy and took about 15 minutes.
I picked up an 8x10 picture frame from Home Goods. Then I went to Hobby Lobby and picked up some patterned paper. I wanted something pretty, but not too dark. I also got two different kind of stickers...one package of capital letters, and one package of lowercase letters.
Patterned paper usually comes in 12x12 size, so I had to cut it down to fit the frame. I just took the paper that comes with the frame to use as a template.
Then I added the stickers. I just put 'Dinner' across the top and SMTWTFS down the left side. I didn't make it too difficult, I just eyeballed it.
Then I just slipped it into the frame.
All that was left was getting a dry erase marker. Dry-erase markers work perfectly on glass!
I chose this one (Target) that came with a little eraser on the tip.
I would suggest only using black. On glass, other colors won't show up very well.
And then I filled in my menu for the week! Last week was different because we had 3 meals delivered to us by different people. But it was still helpful because I knew what family was coming on what night. And as you can see, the black marker worked great!
Super easy project....total cost was $20. $10 for the frame and $10 for the stickers and paper. It could be hung on the wall too I suppose, but I just set it on our countertop.
That's it!
