With 3 kids now, I am on a journey to get my life as organized as I possibly can. That said, I’ve been on the hunt for a dry erase board of some sort to put up in the kitchen to jot down reminders, notes, etc.
The past few weeks, I’ve been to about 4 Home Goods and a few Marshalls and TJ Maxx stores looking for one but I haven’t come across exactly what I want. So being the handy momma that I am, I decided to just make my own. And when I tell you how easy this is, you’ll want to grab your materials and make one too!
All you need is a picture frame in whatever size works for your space. I happened to have a silver frame I got from Target years ago laying around not in use. Its 14″ x 18″ which is the perfect size for where I wanted to hang it.
The next step is to create your printable file for your weekly planner on the computer. I used PhotoShop Elements to create mine but any program that allows you to create files in the size of your frame is fine. You can be as creative as you want to be and add as many things as you’d like to your planner.
After you create your file, you just have to get it printed in the size you need. You can go to any local print shop or order your print online. Once you do that, simply insert it in your frame and hang on the wall.
Here’s mine:
Get yourself a dry erase marker and you are good to go! Now how easy peezy was that!?
**If you are interested in having a custom weekly planner made, email me at onehandymomma@gmail.com and I can whip a digital file up for you (for a small fee).
