Glass Message Board and Window Markers

This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Groupยฎ and Office Depot, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #inspirestudentsย http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

Whats up at inkhappi today? A framed glass message board! With school back in session and in full swing in most places, I wanted to create and share something that can be used by all those teachers out there to stay organized and inspired in the classroom. I also wanted this to be somethingย families can use to stay organized with back to school schedules. I had an idea in mind and I wanted to put it together as easy as possible so I headed to my nearby Office Max hoping I could get everything I needed in one place. Office Max is just 1 minute from my house and I can use my REWARDSย points there too. Win-Win!

….and

SUCCESS!

For the glass message board I wanted to use an 8.5 x 11 frame to begin with so a standard print or paper would work in it. I also wanted a clean sleek look. These certificate/document frames were the perfect choice and they were sold 2 in a package at a very reasonable price. Then for the pens and markers… I love color and have a thing for colorfulย pens and markers so this was the fun part! Office Max is having a deal on these right now.ย Save $5 Off your purchase of $20 or more on Select Newell Rubbermaid Brands (PaperMate, Expo Neon Window Markers, Sharpie, Uni-Ball, & Mr. Sketch)ย while supplies last. I picked out theย Expo Neonย Window Markers and some Sharpies {yes!} to complete my project. I think my new favorite thing is these Sharpie metallic markers. They pretty much ROCK! Many of these brands and back to school suppliesย are currently on sale right now so it’s a great place to get your school supplies.

I designed aย basic background for the glass message board. I liked the look of a tree so I went with that, leaving open space for clear writing.ย After printing it out I added a little personal touch with some colorful flowers and leaves with my sharpies. Thenย I slipped it it right in the frame. Wallah! I now have a cute glass message board to give to my favorite teacher! Now is whereย theseย coolย Expo Neon Window Markers come into play. All you have to do is fill in the information on the glass using the Expo markers. I love how easy they are to write with and erase and they come in cool colors!

These markers are so easy to use. I found a handy way to store them too. I put them in a clear business card holder that I also picked up at Office Max. The pens fit snug and perfect in it and handy for use. Cool, huh?

These wipe off so easy. I love it and there is no mess. It’s awesome!

There are so many options for what you can put into the glass frame.ย You can use designed paper background, make your own ย drawing with Sharpies or print up your own design.ย Here is the free printable background that I did. I’m offering a blank one and one with the topics listed that might work well in the classroom.
