DIY Whiteboard

Last night i had an inspiration. I'm gonna make my own whiteboard [ under $10 ]. Searched for clear cellophane roll, couldnt find. Looked at professional magiboards [ $60 - $170 ]. 


Items Needed -


  • A3 size or larger snap wallet closure 40 cm x 46 cm [ plain old clear sheet would do ] 
  • some thumb push pins  
  • hammer
  • whiteboard marker pen(s)
  • whiteboard eraser
  • transparent duct tape 


  • Initial tests using felt tip pen [ on top in red ] & whiteboard marker pen [ below in black ] 



  • For the real test, WILL IT ERASE ??? . yup it did [ whew ] 



  • Very carefully, slit the snap wallet closure in half. Expanded measurements would be 80 cm x 46 cm. 



  • Now all there is to do is to hang it on the wall. 



  • After couple of [ additional ] holes in the wall & thumb triple its original size [ together with lots of cursing ]  voila ! whiteboard is up !
  • I only needed 4 push pins, but ended bending alot more than i thought. Oh well !!!
  • umm, wall is BLUE, thats why it looks awsome !!!





  • Damn !, duct tape holds whiteboard better. Made the necessary modifications. 




  • 2nd whiteboard just installed - much cleaner look [ duct taped it ]



 

Thus endeth the lesson folks !!!
