Organization Frames

This multipurpose system can keep track of invitations, grocery lists, and household notes.

Step 1: Determine how you will arrange the pre-made moulding-square frames on the wall and which ones will frame the cork tiles, chalkboard-paint area, dry-erase board, and magnetic-paint area. Using a level and a pencil, mark the dimensions of each moulding-square frame on the wall in your desired arrangement.

Step 2: Spray-paint the moulding-square frames, and allow to dry.

Step 3: Following the manufacturer’s instructions, apply chalkboard paint within one marked outline on the wall, and apply magnetic primer within a second outlined section of the wall. Allow each coat to dry. Use utility scissors to cut the cork tiles to fit your chosen moulding-square frame, and attach the cork to the wall with the included adhesive. Use a circular saw with a straightedge guide to cut the dry-erase panel to fit your chosen frame, and attach the panel to the wall with heavy-duty construction adhesive. Note: For tips on using a circular saw, visit LowesCreativeIdeas.com/SkillSet.

Step 4: Use a hammer and wire brads to hang the moulding-square frames around the cork, dry-erase panel, and painted areas.

Good To Know: You can use electrical tape, which is available in a variety of colors, to divide the cork tiles into sections.
