Craft Day - January 16th

This month for Craft Day, we made little desk calendars! We got the idea from pinterest, but used our own templates. The craft was super easy and fun for our employees, because they got to decorate theirs however they wanted. I found a scrapbook paper pad of all of the months of the year, so it was perfect! It had about 5 different sheets for each month, so it was a great variety of paper! I got the pad for 50% off, which was an added bonus.

Supplies Needed:

Chipboard (found at Michael's for $0.59 each) You can use cardstock, but it won't be as sturdy. We actually cleaned out the supply of chipboard and had to buy a few sheets of cardstock instead. We used the cardstock for the smaller bottom piece, and chipboard for the larger pieces and it worked out just fine.
Scrapbook Paper Michaels had the perfect pad of scrapbook paper that had sheets for every month of the year.
Calendar Templates (I made mine on Publisher, by inserting a calendar and changing the fonts. Super easy) Here are the ones I made Calendar 1 Calendar 2 Calendar 3
Decorating materials (buttons, ribbon, scrap paper, etc.) We just used anything we already had on hand (hence the random feathers and weird ribbon)
Binder Clips (or book rings. We couldn't find any rings, so we figured binder clips would be easy and cheap :) we actually bought all silver binder clips for the employees, the ones I used are black.)

I started out by cutting the chipboard into 4" by 6" pieces. I also cut come of those in half long ways, so we could have a base

 We then taped the three pieces into a Triangle pyramid like this

Then the fun begins :)

 (it won't let me rotate the images, I apologize!)

I only decorated the first four months (didn't have time to do the rest) but I did find the cute paper for each month, and I will soon go back and add embellishments to the rest of them :)

and Viola!

A beautiful desk calendar!
