School's getting ready to start back, so isn't this a good time to get organized?  Or maybe you're out of school and feeling dreary that you're stuck in an office on these nice summer days.  I bet something to brighten your desk would make you feel better.

If you need a large erase board, buy a sheet of laminate wall panel from your local hardware store. I used one last year to replace the chalk board in my classroom. It could easily be cut into smaller sizes, too,

Nice job! Good idea!

could you just use the back panel for the fabric too?

Yeah, I have a smaller one on the kitchen counter at home I did that way.

I notice your fabric is a bit puckered. If you want it tighter, consider taping it more methodically, as you would when stapling a stretched canvas or upholstering a chair seat. You can see an example of what I mean here.

Pretty sure it was the questionable tape I was using. It kept coming unstuck.
