Pacman Perpetual Calendar

Waka Waka Waka

Pacman chomps his way through the month on this magnetic calendar.  The dots are numbered with the dates; ghost, fruit and power pellets can be used to mark special occasions, birthdays, deadlines or other dates that you may need to remember throughout the month.  This is a perpetual calendar so once all the dots are removed, you can move onto the next level, I mean month and reset the dots.

Step 1 READY!

What you will need:

• A piece of sheet metal
• Yellow and white craft foam
• Magnets (I used a thin magnet sheet and larger circles that I got from a dollar store)
• Polymer clay
• Black and blue paint (or instead of blue paint, blue model striping tape)
• Metal primer and varnish
• Paint brushes
• Hole punch
• Scissors
• Pencil and ruler
• Glue

WHere did you buy the sheet metal amd magnet sheet

[ChrysN]

The magnets you can get a craft store and dollar stores. The sheet metal may also be found in craft/hobby stores or hardware stores or online.

[wwhitt]

Thanks did you only use magnets from the sheet and how much would you estimate the parts cost? I can't wait to make it this weekend

[ChrysN]

They clay is a couple of dollars for each colour or just use white and paint it. The craft foam you can get a 100 pack for a dollar at a dollar store, magnets a couple of dollars the metal will cost a bit more so I would estimate it to be about $20 dollars or so.

Thanks. I'm gonna head down to home depot this Saturday to get the metal

This was a great idea! I'm gonna make a mario bros. one ;)

[GEESE GIRL]

I LUV MARIO TO MABY I WILL DO THE SAME THING

[ChrysN]

When I put the blue horizontal stripes on mine, I thought it looked more like a platform game. I'm sure a Mario version would look great.
