I thought it would be interesting and easy to do, but it turned out to be more difficult. Here is how I made my dry-erase paint chip calendar:
Items needed:
- 42 paint chips of whatever colors you want
- A picture frame (40x50 cm)
- X-acto knife
- Ruler
- Glue
Steps:
- Cut all paint chips to be 4.6cm x 4.6 cm
- Arrange paint chips in rows of 7 on the white sheet of paper that fits your frame. (I used the back of the sheet that comes with the frame) I started the first and last rows about 7 cm from the top and bottom of the paper. Each paint chip had .5 cm in between but you can space them however you want.
- Glue onto the paper. (I used a hot glue gun)
- Place the paper back in the frame and then you have a reusable calendar
My results:
Mine didn't turn out as good as the example that I made mine from. My spacing was a little off and I accidentally glued one of the chips crooked, but I still liked my results. My calendar is now hung up on the wall in my room and it helps me to be more organized. I hope you find this project useful too!
