I have two M4MM projects to share today:
1. Lightweight foldable whiteboard made from a foam board presentation thingy and "dry erase" contact paper.
2. Display stand/holder for whiteboard, blackboard, whatever.
WHITEBOARD (Project #1):
- I purchased the foam presentation board and dry erase Con-tact paper at different stores. The dry erase paper is hard to find! I found it at Beckers in Watchung, NJ (Route 22).
- Simply cut and attach the paper to the board. Although I goofed up a couple times so my board is not perfect. The Con-tact paper will attach permanently to the foam board so removing air bubbles is almost impossible.
- If I were to do this project again, I would not use the foam board. It was very difficult to get it covered properly.
STAND MADE FROM 1" PVC PIPE (Project #2):
I bought all the supplies I needed at Home Depot. Total cost, about $25. This doesn't include the spray paint I used, so about $30.

Anthony, sweet stand! I really like it. Hmm, thinking now about how easy it was. Must control urge to go to home depot!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the foam core board! I'm just bad with contact paper :)
