1.### Tools
- Scissors
- Dry erase marker
Ingredients
- 2 Frames with glass or plexi inserts
- 4 rolls of washi tape
- 1 cardstock white (optional)
Instructions
- Take out the frame's insert and glass or plastic pane. If the frame doesn't have an insert, get creative and create one using a white cardstock.
- Cover cardstock with washi tape, letting the patterns have free rein. Carefully peel off the tape from the roll and smooth it down on the cardstock's surface.
- Neatly cut or tear the ends of the washi tape and press them down.
- At the board's corners and sides, trim the tape using scissors or a craft knife.
- Put the insert back into the frame, then write on the glass or plastic surface with the dry erase marker. Wipe off the writing with a paper towel when you're ready to remove it.
