Makes that help you get organised are always great sellers in January, as everyone turns over a new leaf for the new year. This multipurpose whiteboard perfectly fits the bill – not only is it practical, but the rustic edging made from old wine bottle corks makes it a real showstopper that will look great in customers' offices, kitchens and kids' bedrooms. Here's a top tip: when building up your DIY whiteboard, stick the outside edge of the corks in place first, as this will make it easier to position the inner row.
