[so cheap, so easy]: Monogrammed Message Board

This is a super easy project. It's a monogrammed dry-erase message board. (It takes longer to type the description than to make it!) I made this for my mom when I was in Utah. Since I've decorated about every room in her house, I decided to tackle her classroom! She had all of her students sign the message board...just one thing that makes her the coolest teacher WITH the coolest classroom!

All you need is a poster frame (this one was half off at Hobby Lobby), a thin, light weight letter (also from Hobby Lobby), scrapbook paper, Mod Podge, and tape or glue.
(Trace your paper using your monogram, then cut out and attach.)

First, Mod Podge your your monogram in paper or fabric. Take the back off of the poster frame, turn the display paper around so that just the white shows, tape or glue your monogram, and put your frame back together. Use dry-erase or overhead projector markers on the surface to write messages. Told ya. Easy peasy.
