My obsession with Pinterest has caused me to start crafting
again. I’m the type of crafter that if I see and love it, I will try to
recreate it- for real cheap!!!!
Tonight I decided to make a dry erase calendar that I saw
pinned. I went to the website of a lovely lady named Lindy-who I think is
outrageously creative. Her blog is http://lindycottagehill.blogspot.com
So here’s my version.....
First I went to good ole Wally World in search of a frame. I
wanted it big and it didn’t have to be fancy just big J. I also happened to come
across the remnant bin in the fabric department. I got a 19”x60” piece for
$2.49. Not too shabby. In the frame department I found the store brand size 18”x24”
frame for $8.00. It wasn’t super cheap but a decent price for that size frame.
Tools used: scissors, acid free tacky spray, sharpie marker,
and ruler (see photo below)
I forgot to take a picture of the frame before I took it
apart....oops my bad.
Lay the cardboard backing on top of your fabric to see how long you need it to be. Next, you spray the cardboard backing with the sticky tack. Lay
the fabric on top and smooth out wrinkles.
Now flip it over and decide how big of a calendar you want.
You can use the entire area if you plan on writing a lot in the squares. Your
grid will be 7columns by 5 rows of course. After drawing your grid lines put
the fabric covered cardboard back into the frame.
Voila!!! No more having to go buy the paper calendars... I like that! How about you?
All together this project cost me just under $11. Not bad at all....
