Menu Board

This is a short tutorial on making your own menu board. The one pictured below is the gift I gave my best friend for her birthday. She has three kids and one on the way, so it was my way of helping her ease the stress of cooking and grocery shopping.

First, I started with a simple calendar wipe board. 

Next, I cut leftover scrapbook paper into small rectangles just wide enough for the magnetic strip and wrote various main dish names on them as well as four with "eat out" and six with "leftovers". 

Then, I took the magnetic strip with one adhesive side and cut it into small magnets. After attaching the paper to the adhesive side, I was ready to plan my menu for the month!

The magnets that weren't used for the month were stackable and I stored them in the extra space above the calendar or could be stored on the fridge.

I was all set to make my own, but my sister surprised me with a different version of a menu board and I have happily used it for four months now.
