D.I.Y. Dry Erase To Do List

D.I.Y. Dry Erase Cleaning or To Do List

I absolutely LOVE dry-erase boards and with an underwhelming cleaning check-list, I knew my ideal solution would be some sort of dry erase/cork board combination.

After about 20 minutes of staring at the selections of bulletin and dry erase boards in the store I decided that I really wanted a half and half board, so that I could create a list and not have to re-write them all the time because I smudge them with my hand. SO here is what I came up with.

Supplies:

-          Magnetic Dry Erase Board $4.50

-          Cork Board $3

-          Both with Dimensions of 5.5in x 14 in

-          Blank Computer Paper

-          Packing Tape

-          List of things to include on your To Do or Cleaning List

(MY underwhelming cleaning list, the suplies I intend to replace it with ad the finished product)

Step One:

Take a piece of Blank Computer Paper and figure out how wide it should be, to fit on your Cork Board. Make a crease and then cut off the extra. Keep the scrap to use later.

Step Two:

Write your checklist on the paper you trimmed to fit the cork board, minus the check boxes. I used the scrap paper to prevent the ink from my marker from bleeding through to the counter.

Step Three:

Take another piece of paper, or use your scrap paper and line it up with your checklist and make your boxes that you can put checkmarks into. Then fold and trim off the extra paper.

Step Four:

Take some packing tape and attach the boxes to the right edge of your dry erase board.

Step Five:

Now you are finished and can hang your new dry-erase checklist wherever you need it!
