New Year Calendar

Here's a calendar which is great to look at and to use all year round.

You can write on it with white board markers to plan your week. It wipes clean so can be used from week to week.

This calendar is inspired by a great idea using paint samples from a DIY store, a colour sample for each day.
This looks really effective but there isn't much room to write daily details so this idea allows more room to add daily information and the glass can be wiped and used for the following week.

Materials
-Glass frame
-Coloured card (for back)
-Coloured card (for 7 strips)
-Printed calendar, date and letters
-Paint (1/2 darker colours)
...Or coloured pencils
-Board marker to write on calendar
-Glue, Scissors, Ruler

Stage 1
-Print out monthly dates, year and first letters of each day
-Measure out dimensions for 7 strips of card to fit along the length of the frame
(I used strips of 3x13cm for a 24x18cm frame)

Stage 2
-Paint or colour one edge of the strips before cutting (optional)
-Cut into strips
-Paint or colour the photocopied dates (optional)

Stage 3
-Place and glue to coloured card/paper cut to frame size
-Put in frame
-This calendar uses 2 monthly dates on the front but the additional ones can be attached to the
 back of the frame to update it
-Use a whiteboard marker to write on details for the week. This can be wiped and re-used each week
