It’s Spring Break in my household. Spring Break means you have all the time in the world to make stuff, lounge around, surf Pinterest, whatever.

Or at least that’s what I thought it meant — until I found myself floundering for a project to share with you.

Now, I have lots of projects in the works; they just take time. (More time than I realized.) So this week I’m bringing you the easiest DIY ever.

What’s great about this project is that it’s extremely useful. Everyone can use a nice looking dry erase board, right?

Phoenix, make your New Year’s Resolution Count!

We’re $14,000 away from our End-of-Year campaign goal, with just a five days left! We’re ready to deliver — but we need the resources to do it right. If New Times matters to you, please contribute today to help us expand our current events coverage when it’s needed most.

$30,000

There are no downsides to it. It’s inexpensive and all of the supplies can be found in one place. I bought mine at Michaels. You need only three things:

1. A 12 x 12 frame. Those made for records are perfect!
2. A 12 x 12 piece of patterned paper. The possibilities here are endless.
3. A dry erase marker.

Put the patterned paper behind the frame and you’re done!

The hardest part is figuring out exactly what to use it for. I had several ideas: As a menu board – as found in the original pin, as a place to write my work schedule, or for keeping a grocery list. I jot notes to myself – “take vitamins,” “go for a walk.”

Anything goes.
