Hi Girls,well, like me, if you are also bored of the routine paper
calendars and wanna have a peppy calendar that suits your style, here is a
super-cool DIY – Magnetic Calendar
All you need is an old picture frame, 1-2 magnetic sheet(s),
A4 sheet in a color that you wish to use as your base, assorted designer papers,
colored tape, adhesive letters & numbers, marker, ruler, pen knife, glue
& a cutting mat.
For creating numbers, day/month names you can use variety of
things – flat-base glass marbles, chipboard pieces, bottle caps etc. Basically
anything that you can fit in your square boxes. I used compressed foam sheets which were available in different colors.

- Create boxes on A4 sheet using marker & ruler to accommodate weekdays, month name & dates. I created a 7X6 matrix of 3cmx3cm each & left space on top for month name.
- Place the sheet on top of your magnetic sheet & fit it in frame. My frame looked like this –
