$34 DIY Giant Whiteboard Hack | How To Make A Custom Dry Erase Board On A Budget

How to make a cheap DIY giant dry erase whiteboard for under $35!

Hello Everyone!

I feel like I have just been throwing a bunch of DIY videos towards you guys lately! As mentioned in my previous video, we just moved from our temporary apartment to a house in Austin and have been busy trying to settle into our new home.

I am so excited because for the first time... EVER... I have my very own office space and have been trying to figure out how to set it up. A must-have for me in this new space is a place where I can write down everything I need to do and any ideas that I might have thought up during the day. I have a blank wall behind my desk that would be the perfect space for a giant whiteboard! Unfortunately, I didn't realize how expensive giant dry erase boards are so I did my research and found this ingenious hack to make a massive 4' x 8' white board using white panel board from the hardware store for less than $35!

*If you don't have a truck or a way of transporting the board, you might be able to get the store to deliver it to you.

As I mentioned in my video, I did not come up with this DIY but got that idea after researching the topic and was inspired by other youtube videos. Here are some of the videos I watched before trying this out for myself:

There are a lot of people who have posted videos of this tutorial in the past, just to cover my bases, I went out and tried to find as many of these videos as I can to link to so that I am not accused of stealing the "original" video. I do not know who the very first person who came up with this video is but I am definitely not claiming to be the first:

Girl, the world needs more people like you that can think outside the box. Thanks!

This video seriously deserves more views. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I know how hard a simple video like this can be to shoot and edit. My wife and I wanted a white board for a while, however we didn't want to over spend. This worked so well. We just installed ours today. Looks amazing! Thank you!!

Never stand in a rolling chair. A co-worker got to go have surgery after falling from her chair doing the same thing. Ladders are cheaper than emergency room visits. I still love the ideas she has and will be making one for my wife who is now teach from home.

Thx I needed this for my room. Just starting HS and I kind of need space to study without wasting a lot of precious paper

[michaelscience]

This video never get old. I stumbled on it and bought everything as she described and now I have a 8 foot white board in my office

Needed this to memorize the biochemistry pathways, thanks

[SMahagama]

Wow excellent and creative. Girls are always intelligent.

[reycfd]

Amazing! I am a teacher, and during this pandemic, I definitely would use this for my video lectures. Thank you.

First of all, thanks! I am moving into an older classroom that only has a small dry erase board and a chalk board. As I will be teaching math, I'll need more whiteboard space. I plan on doing this for my classroom. Also, I have used those command strips for a 36" x 48" whiteboard in my classroom. The instructions tell you to hang up the board on the wall just as you showed in the video. However, after a few minutes, you're supposed to separate the board from the wall again and let the wall side of the command strips dry for 30 mins to an hour. That may be why yours didn't hold during summer. I've had these strips hold up year-round in a classroom in FL.

So helpful! I followed your steps this am and am so happy with the results. I had to have the sheet cut in half so it would fit in my car but the PVC trim covered any ragged edges perfectly. Thank you for sharing!!!

Love this. I'm working in my basement these days and did this project for $30. Thank you!

[royrahway]

Thanks! This is good. I like how it looks. Anyone can install it with the right tools. I had to use an angle grinder to shape the corners of the plastic borders into neat angles. After measuring the LxW, I used the backend of a screwdriver to bang the borders onto the Dry Erase.

It was pretty easy to mount using 3M gorilla mounting tape. This can only be cleaned with DENATURED ALCOHOL.

The command strips is a wonderful tip. Thank you!

[raafatchalar]

Thank you for posting this. It realy works and it costed me only 22$ to buy all the stuff. They advised me at home depot to buy some kind of paint that helps to make the whiteboard even better

[venkatpatnaik]

I went through many DIY whiteboard videos but by far this was the best. Thanks for taking the time to make this video

I was thinking of going to Lowe’s and picking up a board. I’m glad I saw this video. Now I’m definitely going to Lowe’s or Home Depot.
