About: Hi! I'm Makinley Butterfield and I love to craft. My crafts range from room decor, all types of jewelry, fidget toys, accessories, and more. I'm so excited to share some of my creations.

Hi guys! In this post I'll be showing you how I made this calendar. This calendar is a cute room decoration and can be used every day. This craft isn't too difficult but does take a bit of time. It also isn't very expensive considering most of the supplies can be found in your own house. I hope you enjoy!

Supplies

  • Card Board
  • Small Nails
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Spray Paint
  • Card Stock
  • Scissors
  • Hole Puncher
  • Pencil
  • Ruler
  • Markers

Step 1: Make Board

  1. I cut out two square pieces of card board. One was 12 inches by 6 inches and the other was 12 inches by 2 inches.
  2. After cutting out the pieces I hot glued the larger piece vertically on top of the smaller piece.
  3. Then I spray painted the glued pieces gold and let it dry.
  4. After it was dried, I nailed three nails evenly across the top of the card board.
  5. To finish it, I put hot glue on the backs of the nails so that the nails wouldn't come loose or be pokey.

Step 2: Make Months

  1. To start, I cut out 12 3 inch by 5 inch squares of card stock.
  2. After I cut out the 12 pieces I punched a hole in the top center of all of them.
  3. Then I wrote out the month and a correlating picture on each slip of paper in pencil.
  4. After I had it all written in pencil, I went back in with black and colored markers to make it look more finished and professional.

Step 3: Make First Digit

  1. To start, I cut out 4 3 inch by 5 inch squares of card stock.
  2. After I cut out the 4 pieces I punched a hole in the top center of all of them.
  3. Then I wrote the numbers 0-4 on each slip of paper in pencil.
  4. After I had it all written in pencil, I went back in with black markers to make it look more finished and professional.

Step 4: Make Second Digit

  1. To start, I cut out 10 3 inch by 5 inch squares of card stock.
  2. After I cut out the 10 pieces I punched a hole in the top center of all of them.
  3. Then I wrote the numbers 0-9 on each slip of paper in pencil.
  4. After I had it all written in pencil, I went back in with black markers to make it look more finished and professional.
