This project makes creative use of paint swatches to form a calendar that’s bursting with color. Best of all, it’s relatively easy to make, and the color combinations you can choose from are virtually endless!

Directions:

1. Open the frame, and take out the paper inside. Measure and cut each of the lightest colors into 2½-by-1-inch pieces until you have 7 rectangles.
2. Measure and cut your remaining paint chips into 35 (2½-by-1½-inch) pieces. Based on your color preference, lay out the paint swatches onto the board, making sure to leave room at the top.
3. Secure each paint chip onto your background with glue, and adhere them firmly to the board. Write the days of the week on the 2½-by-1-inch squares, if desired. Once the paint chips are secured, place the board back inside the frame. Take your dry-erase marker, and label your calendar. Erase it at the end of every month to create a new month!
