Tutorial - Make a Personalized Desk Calendar

Making a photo magnet is also included in tutorial

Tutorial at Plastic and Disaster Blog

" I thought I would make him a desk calendar that he could keep at work with him. He has his own office and his desk faces the door, so if he has it on his desk facing him it isn’t something that other people will be poring over (which might be weird since some of the phrases are just strange).

Tutorial - How to Make a Calendar Flip Chart

It's not too late to make a calendar for the new year

Calendar Tutorial at Pretty Please Blog

Yes, I can easily just write out the date on the board like most teachers do... but I always seemed to forget. And yes... I had one of those cutesy desk calendars and even had student volunteers to change the date... but it just took up precious desk real estate and even the kids would forget to change the date. It was also too small for the class to see".... Read more

Great Idea to Preserve that Calendar with your Favorite Pictures

Recycle a Calendar Tutorial at Aaaandreaaaa's Creative Memories Blog

"Last year my mother-in-law made a calendar she had printed from Walgreen's Pharmacy with some of her favorite pictures, and she gifted it to me.  It's another year, and I didn't get a replacement gift because Hubbs griped and complained to his mother. He didn't like a calendar being made with silly pictures of him. I, on the other hand, loved this calendar so much, and I couldn't see throwing it out,  right?  The result, this tutorial about reusing the things you love".... Read more
