Calendar glider in a frame for a photo: master class
This calendar is good because it turns out to be reusable: every month everything written is erased - and you can make new notes! For such a calendar, you need a frame for a photo or poster with glass or thick plastic on top: on this material it should be possible to write with markers and erase what is written.
You will need:
- a set of colored paper in 7 colors (for example, with sparkles, as in this example, or without them);
- frame for a photograph / poster with glass / plastic;
- ruler;
- a pencil;
- breadboard knife;
- printed names of the days of the week (you can also write them by hand with a marker);
- paper glue.

Step 1
First you need to calculate the size of the squares. In this example, squares 4.5x4.5 cm are needed for a 30x35.5 frame. Cut 5 squares from each of the 7 types of paper.
Step 2
If you printed the names of the days of the week, also cut them out. You can write the names on pieces of colored paper measuring 2x4.5 cm.
Step 3
Dismantle the frame.
Step 4
Arrange the colored squares in even rows on the cardboard from the frame, leaving a strip for the days of the week at the top.Glue the squares and leaflets with the names of the days of the week (or write the names at the top).
Step 5
It remains only to assemble the frame.

Step 3
It remains to attach leaflets to the board and write on them the day of the month, plus - attach the name of the month and days of the week.

For a calendar with a separate sheet for each week, 52 workpieces are needed: sheets can be made larger. Another option is a month calendar with the corresponding number of sheets. Dates are marked accordingly - for example, with a marker.
You will need:
- paper for calendar sheets;
- ruler;
- a pencil;
- breadboard knife and rug (you can do with paper scissors);
- color adhesive tape;
- a device for punching holes or holes;
- a metal key ring.
Step 1
Mark the paper and cut into identical leaves.
Step 2
Cut a piece of adhesive tape and glue it in the middle of the sheet, pasting the sheet as shown in the photo. Then punch a hole.
Step 3
Repeat with the rest of the sheets (different tape can be used to mark different days of the week, months, and so on).
Step 4
Fasten the sheets in a ring. All that remains is to mark up the dates.
