Jewelry Board

Treat yourself to a personal style board by framing cork sheeting, found at nearly any office store. Once assembled, use decorative pushpins as hangers for organizing jewelry. Since pins are easy to move around, have fun experimenting with new pairings as you plan your next outfit!

dry erase calendar frame ss

Dry Erase Calendar

Frame the page of a calendar, a blank grid or simply draw a grid onto your frame’s glass with a dry erase marker. These specialty markers are safe for writing in upcoming appointments, holidays and to-dos on your glass. To start fresh each month, just wipe the glass off with cleaner.

family message board ss

Family Message Board

Making a quick run to the grocery store? Leave a note on your family message board. When you make your own, everyone can stay in the loop—whether it’s keeping track of after school activities or dates to remember. Hang useful coupons, too, and never miss out on savings again.

swiffer 360 dusters ss

Quick Tip

Dusting is easier when you have the right tools. Designed specifically to clean in grooves and crevices, Swiffer® 360° Dusters traps and locks dust better than a feather duster.

custom storage frame ss

Custom Storage

Pegboards are essential organizers, and with so many different hangers and compartments to attach, they’re simple to customize. Frame a pegboard and use it for craft supplies, garden tools or office supplies. Try creating a few in different sizes to hang as an arrangement in your area.

magnetic entryway frame ss

Magnetic Entryway Organizer

Measure the size of your frame so you’re prepared to have metal sheeting cut to size at your local hardware store. Frame the sheeting, then place heavy duty magnetic hangers on it, found at home stores or online. Mount your magnetic organizer in an entryway to hang hats, shopping totes and keys.

chalkboard and magnetic paint ss

Chalkboard Grocery List

Paint your frame’s backing with chalkboard paint, or if it isn’t included, paint a piece of wood that’s been cut to fit your frame. Once mounted, your stylish new chalkboard can be used for lists—like groceries or much-needed school supplies.

artwork roundup frame ss

Artwork Roundup Station

Hang twine, ribbon or strips of fabric across your frame, creating a line you can use to hang artwork and so much more. We love hanging kids’ latest creations with clothespins, but you can hang your favorite prints, family photos or even finds from the outdoors—like drying flowers.

Now that you’ve seen our 7 ideas, we’d love you to share one of your own. With every comment you leave, you help inspire others.
