Menu Board

I saw a tutorial of this somewhere, but now looking for it, I can’t seem to find it…sorry for whoever thought of this first, and thanks for the great idea!!

So, anyway, my husband and I decided that it would be easier, cheaper, less annoying and all around better for us to have a meal plan for each week. It would keep the whole what-is-for-dinner conversation down and it would make it so if I needed to work late, or he had a late class, either of us could fix dinner.

Well, a meal plan requires a display board…don’t you think?

Enters…materials:

Pretty basic right? 12X12 frame and a 12X12 piece of scrapbooking paper to go in it. I found these at Craft Warehouse, but any hobby/craft store should have them. This frame is usually $7 but it was on sale for $5 so it was a no-brainer for me. :)

Next, you add a die cut machine. I own a Cricut myself, but you can use Silhouette, or any other. Make the letters in any shape and size, but I preferred a 1 in from the Cricut cartridge: Opposites Attract.

Tada!!!

Pretty Huh?

I am very pleased with how it came out. I was worried that the lettering would be too small or too big, but it was perfect.

Add some Velcro to a dry erase marker and your menu for the week and presto, a menu board!

I hope you guys get to try this; super easy and really practical – my two favorite things. :)

Do you have a menu board? Have you found a meal plan helpful?!? COMMENT PLEASE!
