The Missing Magnetic Eraser

A magnetic dry-erase board on the refrigerator is surprisingly useful. You can write down recipes, daily plans, shopping lists, or love notes.

Magnetic markers make it even better: they are always beside the board, ready to write.

The eraser is usually the weak point. Small magnetic erasers are inconvenient, while comfortable full-size erasers often have no magnet and inevitably disappear into a drawer.

The solution is simple: cut a credit-card-sized piece of self-adhesive magnetic sheet and attach it to the back of a regular large eraser. Now the eraser stays on the refrigerator beside the board and markers.

A five-minute modification that makes the entire system work properly.
