Whiteboards are handy. They can be used for lists, notes, you name it – they are versatile little items. And today I’m going to show you how to make one. This might be one of the easiest DIY projects known to mankind – it will literally take you ten minutes to complete.

Step 3: Hanging

Hang the frame on the nail, and you’re finished! I told you it was incredibly simple. Now you can go to town making lists with your dry erase markers. It would look really sharpif you placed it on a brightly colored wall, too… and perhaps you could choose a contrasting bright set of letters to give it a super colorful vibe.

And the best thing about it is that you can easily take the whiteboard off the wall to erase it or while you’re writing something new. Then just pop it back on the nail when you’re finished.
