Easy and fast
As soon as the new year has begun, the calendar fills with appointments. To be properly coordinated, you need a diary. But instead of buying one, we prefer to make it ourselves.
Here are our 6 DIY ideas:
You need this for the folding calendar:
- 50 sheets of white paper (about 14 x 14 cm)
- black felt-tip pen
- 50 colorful cardboard cards (about 15 x 15 cm)
- glue stick
- Lochzange
- cord
- 3 wall hooks
And that's how easy it is:
1. Label the white papers with the days of the week, months, and numbers from 1 to 31, respectively.
2. Then glue these papers one at a time to the colorful cardboard cards.
3. Punch the cards at the top with the pincers, taking the months, days of the week, and numbers together. Pull a cord through the holes and knot.
4. Attach the wall hooks to the wall according to the wall conditions and hang the sheets on them.
You need this for the annual calendar:
- Styrodurplatte about 1.20 mx 40 cm (hardware store)
- Fabric approx. 1.30 mx 50 cm
- self-adhesive fabric tape (eg from idea)
- alphabetic
- white fabric paint
- fabric scissors
- pins
- brush
- 2 screws and dowels for the wall
- Drill with drill attachment
And that's how easy it is:
1. Break in the styrofoam plate with the fabric by pinning the fabric on the back with pins.
2. Use the fabric tape to glue 7 equal sized boxes to the front.
3. Coat the stamp with the fabric paint and stamp the first letters of the weekdays in the split fields. Let the paint dry.
4. Under the days of the week now stick a strip of fabric tape across the boundary.
5. To hang, drill two screws with dowels into the wall, depending on the condition of the wall, leaving something protruding, then simply push the Styrodur plate onto it.

- 12 gray paper sheets (about 16 x 24 cm)
- Glue stick (eg Pritt)
- white pencil (eg Edding)
- clipboard
- yellow drawstring
- ruler
- pencil
- eraser

And that's how easy it is:
1. For each month, stick a gray paper on a patterned photocard.
2. On the gray paper first draw a calendar in pencil and possibly a seasonal fruit. Trace the whole thing with the white pen.
3. Now clamp the finished cardboard sheets in the correct order in the board and hang them on a cord.
