I made this dry erase menu board in less than 10 minutes -- if that!
I saw a package of 3 small dry erase foam boards in the office and school supply section at Walmart. I think they were $3-5 or so. I had already been wanting to put (another) dry erase board up there. I have a couple of old ones whose magnets are pretty cheap. After picking up the set of 3 boards, I went over to the craft aisle and found a package of 12 adhesive round magnets. I already had the duct tape on hand to make the border. One tip, snip the tape at the end lengthwise and rip it down the middle. You can use the outside edges for the front of the board and wrap the ripped edges to the back where they cannot be seen.
I already had these Dr. Seuss notepads from Target's dollar spot. Rather than have them go to waste, I am using them for two other purposes. The one on the left will be my list of Kitchen prep tasks. For example, I just bought some chicken and hamburger in bulk from Sam's Club today, so I need to repackage them into meal-size portions. I will cook some of the hamburger before freezing it which helps make cooking supper go a lot faster! The pad on the right is for my list of leftovers and other perishables that need to be eaten before they go bad.
Great idea!
