I have been wanting a Calendar for awhile now to help Duane and I organize everything. I saw this idea on Pinterest to make your own Dry Erase Calendar. I loved the idea because I could change it when I needed to, use it all year around, it was bright and fun, and it was easy and cheap!
I bought the picture frame at Hobby Lobby for 50% off (Don't you just love Hobby Lobby), the ribbon and pins from Hobby Lobby, and the paint chips from Walmart. I already had stickers, glue, and cardstock paper at home from scrapbooking.

I cut each of the paint chips I got in half and arranged them on the paper. (5 rows of 7) I glued these down with rubber cement.
This where I started to improvise a little bit. I didn't cut straight on the paint chips so it looked a little silly. I had bought ribbon that day for another project but used it inbetween the paint chips creating a thick line between the days. I pinned the ribbon down with pins which added just a little bit of extra color. I also had extra space at the bottom so I used stickers I had to decorate it a little bit.
Finally, I put together the picture frame and it was done! I could change it for any month of the year by writing on the glass with a dry erase marker.
