I usually spend months searching for the perfect calendar to hang on my wall every year. After seeing this calendar on Pinterest, I decided it was time for a more permanent solution. That’s why I created this girly calendar for my home office.

| MY FINISHED PROJECT |
Rubber Cement
1 Roll of Wrapping Paper ($1 from the Dollar Store)
31 Paint Sample Cards (Free at any paint store, I got mine at Walmart)
1 Paper Cutter or Scissors (whichever you prefer)
1 or 2 sheets of cardstock
1 Large Plastic Poster Frame (not pictured, you will use the cardboard backing included)
1) Remove the poster frame. Roll out the wrapping paper until it is the size of the poster frame you are using, add an extra ½ inch. The frames usually have a cardboard backing that makes this process easy. Then tape the extra ½ inch to the back of the cardboard.
2) Cut your glitter card stock in strips for the month header. I cut mine into thirds, but the size is up to you. Then take the rubber cement and glue the strips onto the top part of the poster board.
3) Grab the paint samples. I chose a variety of 7 different pink colors to use for this calendar to add variety and flair. Using the scissors or the paper cutter, create a rectangle shape for each of the 31 samples.
4) Place the paint samples on the poster board in your desired pattern. Then take the rubber cement and glue each sample onto the poster board making sure to keep a straight line.
5) Place the poster board back into the frame. And voila! You have a personalized calendar.
Hopes this helps. Feel free to comment or email with any questions.
