Day after Day, Year after Year

I decided to make a calendar for one of my first projects of the New Year. By using the wood block R-T-D calendar, I can use this year after year.

The calendar set comes like this.

These are the separate pieces.

The hardest thing was deciding on a color, so I just went and painted it black.

Next, I covered the pieces with washi paper using Meriken double stick tape. I left a tiny border around the all of edges.

For the months, I decide to use theses stickers which made it really fast and easy. I just trimmed them down a bit to fit the pieces. A month sticker goes on all four sides of the three pieces.

For the days of the month, I used these foam Thickers. I thought they matched the font on the month stickers.On one cube , I have 1 - 6. On the other cube it's 7 - 9, 0, 1 and 2. That covers all of the days of any month.

It was a really fast project! The cool thing is the Meriken double stick tape and the wood calendar set (along with other wood) are on sale for the whole month of January at the Ben Franklin Crafts stores. I know I need to go back and get some more calendars so I can give them away,plus I need to stock up on tape!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you're enjoying the New Year! Happy Crafting!
