Budget Tip of the Day: Menu Frame
Image via Budget Wise Home
All this week I’m going to show you some easy thrift store decorating projects that anyone can do. They will all be very budget-friendly, of course, and won’t take you all day to do. Here is a fun project I saw last week over at Make and Takes. This took me about 10 minutes to make and is now a lovely addition to my kitchen. Use it as a menu board, to do list, or as a place to jot down notes and messages.
Here is the play by play:
Pick up any size frame from a thrift store. There are always TONS to choose from. I was lucky to find one in great shape, but remember that you can easily spray paint any frame in seconds to look brand new. I got this one for $3.00.
Take any piece of decorative scrap book paper, cut it to size, and pop it in your frame. That’s really it.
I had a large sheet of paper, so I used a level to measure and draw straight lines.
This would be fun to use as a to do list. Make sure to use a dry-erase marker!
Everything easily wipes off with a paper towel.
Or turn this into a weekly menu planner. Now everyone will know what’s for dinner.
I used some stickers for the “MENU” title. I don’t like my handwriting, so I think I’m going to find some more stickers for the days of the week. I’m excited to use this. It’s going to make me actually plan my meals each week.
The great thing about this is that you can easily switch out the paper if you want a new look.
Come back tomorrow for a new thrift store decorating idea.
