We&#8217;ve kept a small 8&#215;10 one in our kitchen for years. We use it to write down things we need at the store. When we did our<a href=\"https:\/\/craftyourhappiness.com\/living-2\/room-makeovers\/outdated-kitchen-transformation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> outdated kitchen transformation<\/a> I decided I needed a much larger one. Rather than buy one I decided to make\u00a0 my own DIY dry erase board using a large frame I already had. It had a plastic cover rather than glass and I realized it worked great as a wipe off board.\u00a0\u00a0 I just took some white poster board and put it under the plastic cover, stuck on a few things and it was ready to go! You can see that one on our post of <a href=\"https:\/\/craftyourhappiness.com\/2017\/04\/06\/diy-kitchen-decorating-ideas-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kitchen decorating ideas<\/a>.\u00a0 However, after months and months of use&#8230; it stopped erasing. No idea why but it became unusable. So rather than buy one I decided to make over this over using a roll of adhesive backed dry erase paper. You can buy it just like contact paper. Keep in mind you can make this any size using whatever frame you want!<\/p>\n<h1>DIY Dry Erase Board Supplies<\/h1>\n<p>Frame of choice<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2x9ORpD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roll of adhesive backed dry erase paper<\/a> You can also get<a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2xThSF9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> 8.5&#8243;x11&#8243; sheets<\/a> for smaller boards<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2yjXPB3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scissors<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2yjJFQl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pocket to hold markers<\/a>\u00a0 pencils etc (I had this <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2xb1Vq4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Command Pocket<\/a> so I used it.) <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2xNUMOf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wide Version<\/a> (Must be glued on)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2OXUPis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Post-it type note pop-up Dispenser<\/a> (that can be glued flat to the board)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2yjLBbs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dry Erase Markers<\/a> (All you need is one but I like the variety)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2N8As09\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eraser<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Or make your own like I did below.
