Desktop Calendars

Hi There!
I made these a month or so ago, but couldn't post till I found a battery for my camera! FINALLY found one this morning.....so have been busy editing all day!

I will be selling these again this year at my craft fairs. They did really well last year. The only difference this year is that I bought the larger calendars which are 3" x 2-1/4" . The small ones were difficult to get off of the base once the month was over. Bought my calendars HERE. The base is made from blank coasters - I use the 3.5" size because I don't like the bigger ones on my desk. Bought my coasters HERE. I use the heavy weight for the extra stability. The binder clips I bought at Staples. They are the large (2") clips that come in boxes of 12. I always use my scraps on these...great way to make a dent in that never-ending pile!

I think that I will also be using these for stocking stuffers this year. I am always trying to find something that is "usable" - I hate random crap that I can't use! Although chocolate is always a great option - Right?





Thanks for looking -

  1. I would be interested in some calendars if you have any left. How much would postage be?

  2. When you make these do you also cover the back of the coasters and clips to give the project a finished look?
