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.

Have you made a DIY with an older frame? If so, how did you change the concept and make it fun? Feel free to share in the comments below! For the full details watch the video below.
