It's A Goodwill Good Deal ~ $4 Picture Turned Into Dry Erase Board

Posted on 16:06 by gayle
We had my family over for a cookout this weekend, and I am sooo bummed that I didn't think to take any pictures!!!  Even though I don't have any photos to show it, we had a great time, and it was great seeing everyone.   

I have a  big family, and I made a ton of food for our little shindig.  Before my family arrived, I wrote the menu down on a makeshift dry erase board hanging in my kitchen.  Some of my nieces and nephews thought that this project was pretty cool, and it ended up being somewhat of a conversation piece in my kitchen. 

I really wish I could take the credit for this idea, but I can't.  I saw a version of this in blog land several moths ago, and for the life of me, I can't remember which blog I saw it at.  Although this piece has been hanging on my kitchen wall for a few months now, I have yet to blog about it, so without further ado, here's another Goodwill Good Deal....

This is what it looks like hanging on my kitchen wall now.......


......but this it what it looked like when I purchased it from Goodwill for only $3.99.
This purposeful piece of kitchen wall art was really easy to make.  All I did was take out the old portrait, and then I used scrapbook paper and scrapbook stickers to create a new "portrait'.

Lastly, I attached a dry erase marker to the side of the frame using Velcro.  The dry erase marker works on glass the same way that it would on a regular dry erase board:)

And that was it!  One $4 Goodwill frame + scrapbooking supplies that I already had = one practical yet beautiful conversation piece in my kitchen:)
