Dry Erase Frame

I got a high school graduation announcement from a girl I just love and know really well.  Instead of the standard $20, I chose to give her something that would last longer and help her in her new college adventure: a framed dry erase board.

She's moving out for the first time into an apartment.
I helped her re-do her bedroom over the summer {see here} and know she can use this fun dry erase board to write notes to her roomate, jot down cute boy's #'s, remind herself of appointments and etc!

Best part?  
Cost me under $15! 

Step 1:
Buy frame from Joann's or Michael's using your 40% coupon: $9.99

Step 2: 

Take off backing, rip out glass holders & replace with window push points 

{found at Home Depot}.

Step 3:

Give to new grad :)

Tips: I have a vinyl cutter so I mirror-imaged the bird, clock & saying onto the backside of the frame.  If you don't have access to vinyl, you could draw a pic with a sharpie or apply it with acrylic paint.  I like the clean look with the wall showing behind but there are other fun options  :)
