Build a whiteboard yourself - how it works

A whiteboard is not only practical, you can also build it yourself. Whether for the office or at home, with our DIY instructions you can make your whiteboard in no time.

Build your own whiteboard - you need that

The materials for the whiteboard are available from the hardware store.

• You need a melamine board the size your whiteboard will have later. You save work if you have the plate cut to size in the hardware store.
• Since the plates are not very thick, you still need a back wall. A solid cardboard box of the appropriate size or a plywood board is suitable here. Cork is also possible to reinforce the melamine board. Make sure that the whiteboard does not become too heavy.
• Melamine plate and back wall are connected with an adhesive.
• To hang up your whiteboard later, you need two picture hooks.

That's how it's done

If you have all the necessary materials together, crafting is child's play.

• Since you have already had the melamine plate cut to the desired size, all you have to do is bring the back panel to the same size.
• Now glue the back wall to the back of the melamine plate.
• When the glue has dried, your whiteboard is actually ready. All you have to do is attach the picture hooks to the top of the back wall.
• To beautify your whiteboard, you can add a frame. How to make a picture frame yourself, you can read in another DIY instructions.
• Now you can hang up and use your whiteboard. Remember to use special whiteboard pens for labeling. Only these can be wiped dry.
