Paint Sample Calendar

This paint sample calendar is so cool, cheap, and reusable! 



Items Needed: 

  • A Frame: Can buy at Dollar Tree 
  • Paint Samples: In any color and can be grabbed from Walmart or any paint supplier
  • Poster Board: For the background and can also be bought at Dollar Tree
  • Glue: Dollar Tree
  • Straight Edge, ruler, and pencil. Can be bought at most stores

Directions:

1. Take your chosen paint sample colors and trim them to the size you want. Keep in mind you’ll need 7 colors to comfortably fit from left to right and that the labels for the days of the week will be smaller than the calendar days. I chose to keep the paint sample names within my little squares because I thought it’d add a nice touch, but it’s totally up to you.

2. Trim your poster board to the size of the frame and glue your paint samples to it, however you desire. I chose an ombre look for specific days of the week. A single color ombre or mixed colors look great too!

3. Place your finished calendar inside the frame and 
use your dry erase marker to label the days and dates.

4.Enjoy your fun (and one-of-a-kind) calendar!
