DIY dry erase board

Upcycle that CD case to a Dry Erase board!
Fun Project!
You know me, I like projects that are short and usuable!
This is perrrrrrrrfect!
Short and Sweet!
1. Using a plastic CD case I took the front clear cover off and switched it around. It will stay open and lean back for you if you do this.
2. I picked out paper to match my bedroom. (I do my best thinking before bed so I thought a dry erase board there would be best)
I added a heart brad to the paper and attatched the paper to the back side with permanent adhesive runner. Adhesive runner sticks to the plastic so you can't remove the paper and restick as the paper may tear. I'm sure you could use glue dots also. I also recommend using a light colored or lightly patterned paper, so you can see your notes....I added the brown rick-rack on the outside to give it 3-D texture. I of course, added ribbon and a binder clip to Embellish! Embellish! Embellish!!!!

And as you see..... it erases!



Please leave me a comment, and/or a picture of your "Upcycled- CD case Dry Erase board"

  1. This is a clever idea. I had upscaled CD cases for framing my stitching before but never thought about this. This would work well for my kitchen where DH and I leave each other notes. Guess I know what I'm doing with my next CD case.
