- ornate flea market frame with glass
- packing tape
- patterned fabric
- spray paint in your desired color

Cut Out Foam Core
Place glass from the frame on top of foam core. Trace around glass. Cut out foam core. (This will be used as a mat for the fabric.)

Cut Fabric
Lay out fabric face down. Lay foam core on top. If necessary, trim any extra fabric away until there is 2 inches of fabric on each side of the foam core.

Tape Fabric to Foam Core
Fold over the bottom edge of the fabric and tape with the packing tape. Fold over the top edge of the fabric and tape with the packing tape. Fold over each remaining side of the fabric and tape with the packing tape. Hold the fabric taut so it's tight across the foam core. Push down each corner of fabric and tape the fabric corners down flat. Then tape down each corner so it's taut.

Spray-Paint Frame
Place the frame on a drop cloth outside. Spray on one light coat of spray paint. Add two more coats of spray paint to fully cover the frame. Let dry according to the spray-paint instructions.

Attach Frame + Style
Put glass back in the frame. Place fabric in the frame on top of glass. Use dry-erase markers to write messages on the glass. The markers will easily wipe off. Use the board as a message center or a place to jot down to-do lists. It will definitely look better than any store-bought wipe-off board.
