Paint the door. After paint is dry, use the tape measure to center each
coat hook underneath a panel. Mark the spots where the screws will go, and predrill the holes. Affix the coat hooks with a screwdriver. Predrill a small hole next to what will be the dry erase panel. Attach a metal eyehook. When the project is complete, use a string to attach a dry erase marker to the eyehook.

Measure the perimeter of the panel where you want the corkboard to go. Cut the corkboard to size. Apply adhesive to the back of the board, and set it into place.

Locate the studs in your wall with the stud finder. Mark two studs far enough apart to distribute the weight of your door. With the drill, place one long screw deep within a stud. Using string and a level, place the second screw in the other wall stud. Using the studs and the protruding screws as a guide, affix two D-ring hangers on the back of the door. Keep them high on the back of the door where the wood is solid. It’s okay to predrill these holes, but don’t punch through the other side of your door.

Have a friend help you lift the door, and slide the D-rings over the screws in the wall.
