the "to do" frame {free download}

from a boring thrift store find...

to a cheerful wipe board to do list...
perfect for those mothers and teachers in your life.


materials:
  • 8x10 frame (jennifer found this one at a thrift store for $1.50 - you can also pick up a pretty cheap one at wal-mart)
  • spray paint
  • spray primer
  • sandpaper
  • "things to do" sheet - download here
how to:
-give the whole frame a light sanding just to rough up the surface.
-wipe clean and give it a good coat of primer.
-spray paint your frame and once dry, sand the edges lightly.
-insert the to do list.
-then just use dry erase markers to write down all of the things you need to get done.




this is easily an under $5 gift!!

OMG! I am really, really loving this! I LOVE to make lists! This will be so cute in my kitchen on our "family central counter"!

I love this!! Thank you so much for another "doable" project!

Genius! I kept trying to figure out how you made the white board. It's the glass! I get it. We right notes on our windows and mirrors all the time. My husband even wrote one across my computer screen once. It was sweet, but I was mad! Great idea!

I tried to download the 'things to do' list and I was sent to a Scribd website, is that how everything is downloaded from your site? It wanted me to sign up for a subscription.
Not so computer savvy,
