Design your own Whiteboard at home

With as low as 20 Rs :) .

Almost all homes in the apartment complexes these days have glass doors and windows. We thought to put it to some better use. We have been contemplating to buy a whiteboard, but did not want to mess with the walls so thought of using an alternative. Simple idea, but pretty effective to make up to-do-lists and do quick discussions.

    Now that’s a ‘sasta and tikau’ solution! :-)
    Jokes apart it’s really effective use of resources at hand and solves the issue without any hassle!

  • Use frosted glass (on outside face) Inside face can be used board board marker pens / Alternatively use a polyester film with white dots printed to medium density (.5 mm at 50%) on the outer surface. Inside glass is writable with board marker pen. It remains sufficiently translucent to allow light and still opaque to write.
