DIY Magnetic Calendar
With the new year on the horizon, it’s time to get organized with a DIY magnetic calendar! We can all agree that having one place to arrange all of your events and appointments feels amazing.
This year, take a regular calendar to the next level by using magnets to be able to easily shift your plans –– because we all know things come up out of the blue ––- when needed to help you keep your sanity. Goodbye messy and scratched out calendars! Keep your ducks in a row and craft this calendar for your refrigerator or any magnetic surface using magnetic paint.
What You’ll Need:
- 18mm x 2mm disc magnets
- Flathead pin magnets
- Sharpie
- Sticky notes
- Magnetic surface
- Washi tape
- Grab seven disc magnets and label one for every day of the week with Sharpie. You could also use a label creator or stick a piece of tape on the magnet to create a neat writing surface.
- Next, you’ll want a pin magnet labeled for each date, so you’ll need 31 labeled magnets. Again, you can write directly on the magnets or create a label to number them.
- Grab your Washi tape and create a calendar-like grid. To make one grid that can be used no matter what day of the week a month will fall on, you'll need 8 vertical lines and 7 horizontal lines. Remember, each gridded square will represent a day of the month so be sure to space the tape enough apart to fit sticky notes on the days!
