This Project is very simple as it only has 3 cut out pieces.
It has holes for hanging on a wall. It also has a holder for the two most common dry erase marker sizes.
To assemble this holder, simply notch the two small pieces together. Once they are together you can notch them into the main grocery list T cut. Super Glue will need to be used to set this in place.
