DIY Photo Calendar

Hello All,

Wasssuupppp??How's life? What are you upto?  ðŸ˜¶ hahahahaha! You must be wondering, has she gone mad? Why the hell is she asking all this? Let me tell you. It is all because of all these people around me. Either someone is getting married, or someone is going out of India. And, here I am, sitting in my home, watching Kapil Sharma, and trying to write a post. And so,  this brings us to the topic of today's post - DIY Calendar.

As I said, someone or other is going out of India, and this time it was Dhaval Bhai. He is more of my brother, than a colleague,  and he recently went to Australia for his further studies. And, me being me, I had to make something for him, that would remind him of me and the beautiful memories that we shared together. And, nothing could be better than a calendar. It is something, that he would use each and every day. So, if you also want to make one, then follow the steps below:

Materials Required:

  • Craft Papers
  • Glue
  • Colored Pens
  • Calendar Rings
  • Cardboard
  • Photos
  • Ornaments or Decorating items (like buttons, feathers, etc.)
We are going to make this calendar in two parts. One part will have the months and the other will have the pictures. This allows to shift the pictures as per one's choice.

Step 1: Decide the size of your both the calendar parts. 

Step 2: Cut 12 pieces of chart paper to write dates for 12 months. And then, other sets of 12 colored papers for background. 

Step 3: Put on dates and make sure to mark the special days with special notes. Stick them on the background paper.

Step 4: Cut another set of background papera for the pictures, and stick the pictures on them. Let them dry.

Step 5: Fold the caedboard in a long triangle and stick it together. Use paper to cover it. Add the card rings on the top. You can add rings as per your choice.

Step 6: Make holes in your pieces of photos and months. Make sure the holea are at proper distance based on the placement of rings on the cardboard.

Step 7: Decorate it as per your wish. I have used buttons and ornaments.

And, your calendar is ready!!!

This can be one of the best gifts. People will definitely remember you, well atleast for an year. Haha!

Have fun!
