DIY Ideas: You can start this craft, by looking thru older frames in your home! Do not have a large enough frame or want a different frame for cheap? If so, visit your local thrift store or garage sale and save big! I would purchase some chalkboard paint and give my frames a distressed look. That’s just my personal preference. Let us know how you liked making this DIY erase board.
