DIY :: Calendar Whiteboard

written by Natalie Ho 2018.01.31

Who else loves printed calendars (like this one)?!

There are so many beautiful ones. They are so pretty that I often want to frame them into art pieces!

The other day, I had a genius idea while starring at the broken IKEA art frame tucked behind my shelf. I remembered that the glass was shattered when the frame dropped while moving and I had thought to myself, “keep it! I’ll find a way to re-purpose it!”. Fast forward 3 years later, I finally found great use for it.

I decided to combine my love for desktop calendars, framed art, and whiteboards into one lean and mean DIY organizational center. Keep reading to see how to create this simple DIY Calendar Whiteboard project!

DIY Calendar Whiteboard

Print This
Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Instructions

What You Will Need:

  • Printed desktop calendar
  • Large size picture/art frame (with glass removed)
  • Cork board
  • Post-it® Super Sticky Dry Erase Surface Sheets
  • Thumb tacks (or earring backings)
  • Glue gun

How to:

  • Measure the appropriate cork board required and cut to size in order to fit the entire frame
  • Heat up glue gun and affix each cork board piece directly onto the frame
  • Plan out the configuration of the printed desktop calendar cards and the Post-it® Super Sticky Dry Erase Surface Sheets (I decided to place them 3 card horizontally and 4 cards vertically)
  • Remove the backing of the dry erase surface sheets and adhere to the cork board surface
  • Affix each calendar card by using thumb tucks (or you can also use earring backings, I had a bunch left over from another project)
  • Optional: use thin black vinyl tape to create boarders to separate whiteboard sections








I now have a super functional multi purpose board! It acts not only as a calendar, but a whiteboard (also see another DIY whiteboard project I posted) to keep track of all my to-dos as well as a cork board where I can pin (literally and not virtually) my inspirations!

If you have an empty frame laying around at home, I encourage you to find a way to re-purpose it!  I promise it will give you so much joy and satisfaction to bring new life to a pre-loved item!
