Keeping your busy schedules in order is important so you don't forget those coffee dates among work and school assignments. Instead of heading to the store to buy a boring paper calendar that will need replaced each year, make a cute, personalized calendar that will last forever!
You will need:
a set of dry erase markers (these are handy because they have the erasers attached)
a large picture frame (ours is 11 x 15, $7 from Wal Mart, pictured below)
and 7 paint swatches from any local paint store:
the fun thing about this is you can choose any colors that match the color scheme of your room or office!
How to:
First, we used Windex on the picture frame to remove any smudges.
Then, we attached all of the paint swatches with tape on the back so they do not move:
Next, place them in the picture frame, color side up, and close the back.
Then, fill out the month and days with your dry erase markers:
and voila! You have a lovely customize-able calendar. Just erase each month when it's over and start over fresh.
Have fun!

super cute idea
ReplyDeletewhat markers should I use? I just made one and used dry erase markers but they are not erasing properly :(.
ReplyDeleteYou should have a glass pane over the paper, don't write directly on the paper. It won't erase.
DeleteWhere did you find paint swatches that have 7 colors on them. The most I have found is 4.
ReplyDeleteLowes, usually. They have a small wall of paint swatches, organized by color and shade. :)
DeleteDid you have to pay for the paint swatches?
