Contemporary Whiteboard Organizer

My latest spring cleanup organizing dilemma was figuring out a way to dress up a dry erase white board for the laundry closet.  We needed a quick and visual way to be reminded of household chores appointments, tasks, and events at a glance.  Here is the finished product using a plain white dry erase board, decorative duck tape, scissors, magnets, and a P touch Labeler.


  1. First clean the white board with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel. 
  2. Measure sections with a ruler and draw lines with a pencil.  High school math time, (Length of board divided by desired number of spaces).  Tip; tape off the top and bottom border prior to measuring.
  3. Next tape off sections on the board cutting off excess tape with scissors.  On the left of the board I put the days of the week.  This is where I record our weekly chores.   Download the paper version at TPT.  The right side has a large section for shopping and two smaller sections for appointments/meetings/messages.  
  4. To finish it up, label the sections.  I used a P Touch Labeler, found at Office Depot on sale for $10!  
  5. Use magnets to attach notes and business cards.  The magnets came with the board, some are plain, others have email icons, clocks, envelopes and people.
  6. Tape a piece of stick on Velcro and attach the dry erase marker.
  7. Hang and enjoy.
