Note/Message Boards

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CREATING A NOTE/MESSAGE BOARD (with thanks to Kathy B)

You'll need:

1. card stock (Wal-Mart has it for $5; your local office supply store may have it for about $11)
2. no-heat laminating sheets or pouches (pouches are neater and a pack of 5 can be had at Office Depot for $6.99)
3. velcro dots
4. glue-on magnets
5. dry erase pen

To make the board:

1. Using a color printer, print the attached graphic on a sheet of card stock. (If your printer prints edge-to-edge, you may want to tweak it a little in your graphics program.)
2. Carefully seal the card stock in the laminating pouch or between two laminating sheets. You may want to rub it with a ruler or other item to remove any air bubbles. Note: You may want to add an extra sheet of cardboard for added stiffness.
3. Attach the soft loop velcro dot to the pen and the rough hook dot to the board.
4. Attach the magnets to the back of the board.
