Dry Erase Vinyl Message Board
I’m so excited to share with you a great new product that I just found, and fell in LOVE with!
DRY ERASE VINYL!
I had seen chalkboard vinyl, but not dry erase vinyl!!! 🙂
I knew I wanted to create a message center with the decal that I printed out, so this is how I did it.
I started with this rectangular board that I got from The Wood Connection, here in Utah. It came with the edges routered and two holes at the top, already done.
I painted the board white first, with Semi-Gloss paint…
Then I painted it with my Crystal Aqua color, from Valspar.
Then sanded the whole thing, lightly, to bring through the white a bit.
Next, I took my dry erase decal off it’s backing paper… And centered it on my board.
I didn’t use transfer paper for this project, because it made the thick dry erase material, actually a bit harder to apply. It was easier, to just peal the large piece off, and place it where I needed it 🙂
I also added this MESSAGE vinyl decal to the top, in dark gray.
And for those of you who want to print your own, on your Silhouette, or make a stencil, for your board, the font name I used for “MESSAGE” is called COFFEE TIN.
You can download it HERE

Then I added a piece of white and dark gray fabric, to hang it up!
I used a Velcro strip on the wall, to hang up the dry erase markers, next to the message center.
I think I’m going to put this outside, by our front door, once it warms up a bit more, so that people who visit can leave messages if we’re not home!
. . .
Here are some ideas for where you can use your dry erase decal:
– Hang it straight on the wall or a refrigerator
– On a board, for a custom message center
– Inside a cupboard, to keep track of medication doses and times
– On a dorm or bedroom door, or inside a school locker
– By a front or back door, to jot down items you don’t want to forget!

I love love love the wood connection! Im lucky to live less then 10 min away. I have to be very very careful when I go in there as to not spend my whole paycheck.

I was really excited when i saw this groopdeal in my email this morning, but have been trying to figure out where I'd put it. I got the little oval chalkboard decals when they were on groopdeal and I love them! (i think that was you?)
Audrey @ The Cloth Parcel says
Awesome! I love what you can do with vinyl these days. Does the dry erase vinyl only come in white?
Melissa @ It's Fancy Schmancy says

You are so dang creative!!! I have a question for you- I am considering a white sofa and want to get a real person's opinion. Are you able to keep it clean and is it a pain to keep the slipcover looking nice (ie. wrinkles). I really like the Ikea Ektorp sofa in white. Of course PB would be nice but too much money. Thanks!

I love this idea! My husband just mentioned that we need a dry erase board in our kitchen for lists, and I was thinking, "Ew, ugly!!" and trying to think of a way to make or get a pretty one. Now we can have one that's gorgeous!! This is so great. Thanks! – Amy
