Today, almost everything can be bought: there is no shortage of goods, besides, the choice is now really huge. Good? And who argues? On the other hand, there is a pattern … but truly original things come across not so often. And so you want to be extraordinary, boast (at least to yourself) of an exclusive. This simple desire to stand out to some extent served as an impetus for the fact that people took up needlework, began to attend various master classes and combine business with pleasure. Let's follow their example. Let's turn our attention to… calendars. You can make a real masterpiece with your own hands! So let's get started?
Drawing
The easiest way to make DIY calendars is to draw them with your kids. If it is a wall calendar, you will need whatman paper, if it is a pocket calendar, just a small piece of white cardboard. First of all, you need to think about how the numbers will be placed on paper. There are many options here. In the case of whatman paper, months and numbers can be placed around the entire perimeter, as if creating a clock face. You can alsomake a classic calendar, the upper part of which is occupied by a picture, and the dates follow. If the calendar is pocket, then the numbers will be located on one side (back), and the picture on the other, front. What can be drawn? There are already a huge number of options. You just need to decide what you would like to admire for a whole year, of course, given the age of the children. It is worth noting that such a calendar is a great gift for grandparents who don’t get to see their child so often.
Appliques
To make calendars with your own hands, you can resort to the application technique. The creation process itself will be similar to the previous one: you need to come up with a plot, as well as decide how the numbers will be placed. If you have an idea, you can get down to business. It's best to prepare the numbers first. So, you can cut out everything from newspapers or magazines, trying to choose approximately the same font and letter size for months and numbers for dates. After gluing the calendar itself, in the remaining place you need to draw some kind of drawing. Options - darkness, again, everything will depend on the desire and interests of the master himself.
Buttons
We invite you to create an interesting wall calendar. Almost everything will be done by hand here. So, we make a replaceable button calendar. What will be needed to create it? Frame, plywood, fabric (thin for the base and felt for letters), Velcro, buttons (of the same size). First you need to cut the main fabric to the size of the frame itself (taking into account the fold allowances). Nowyou need to decide how the buttons will be placed. Most likely, you will need to make seven columns and five rows. Above and to the right, you need to leave some space for inscriptions (names of the month and days of the week). Now, on the reverse side of each button, you need to sew a part of the Velcro, while the other part is sewn onto the fabric exactly in the place where the buttons with dates will be attached. Yes, you need to glue pre-printed and cut out numbers on the buttons. Thus, you will get a universal calendar, on which every month you can easily change the buttons and put them in the right places. Now it remains to work with the inscriptions (they will also be attached to a pair of Velcro). The basis for them can be made of felt, and a rather thick paper can be sewn or stitched on top, on which this or that name of the month will already be written or printed. That's all, the original and every year up-to-date calendar is ready!
Sewing
You can also try to sew calendars with your own hands. To do this, you need a fairly dense fabric. The calendar itself will change dates every week. First you need to stitch together six pre-cut squares of the desired size, which will be responsible for the first six days of the week. Sunday will be placed at the very bottom, stretching across the entire calendar. The base is ready. Now you need to glue the Velcro in the place where the numbers will be located (ideally, at the bottom right of each square). On the left, there will be a small pocket window in whichit will be possible to write what is important that should happen on this day. It will also be possible to leave pieces of paper there: memos: what needs to be done or who needs to be congratulated. From above, in the remaining place, you can sew something interesting: the sun, a cloud, a flower - whatever your heart desires. Where we left space for Sunday, you will need to put the name of the month (again on Velcro). Below, if desired, you can make several pockets to store pieces of paper and a pen for notes. That's all, the original calendar, which is perfect for, for example, a child's room, is ready!
Quilling
And now we will tell you how to make a table calendar with your own hands using the quilling technique. So, for the base you will need designer cardboard (so the finished product will look very colorful and original), which is folded into a triangle so that it sticks perfectly to the base. Next, you need to print and paste the calendar itself approximately in the center of the stand. The remaining space on the left is for decoration, on the right you can stick a small block with tear-off leaves to make notes. Now fill in the remaining (left) part. If a person is just getting acquainted with the technique of quilling (skillful paper rolling), you need to choose a simpler decor, for example, unpretentious and at the same time very beautiful curls. Also, everything can be decorated with leaves and flower petals, which are quite easy to make using this technique. Now everything is glued to the base. Such handmade calendars will be an excellent decoration and addition to the interior.
Photo
Don't know what else to come up with something so unusual? Try making your own photo calendars. This will be, again, a great gift for grandparents or other relatives who live far away from you. So, you can make a tear-off calendar, where a corresponding photo will be pasted for each month. Alternatively, you can go to a print shop and make a large wall calendar based on the layout, with a photo of you or your friends as the background if you want to please them. This is a great idea that many will love.
