D.I.Y. : Washi Tape + Dry Erase Paint Wall Calendar

10/29/2014

Hey folks!

Hope your week is off to a great start! I have had a busy one, getting ready for my Friendsgiving event [which I NEED to make a post about] and planning a trip to Brazil for Christmas + New Years, oh- and working... No complaints whats so ever, just trying to keep up with life right now!

I have had this ready to post for a month now, and just havent done so, [whomp, whomp] but this calendar has been a game changer for me! I love that it is so easy for me to keep my blog stuff separate from work//life stuff and it helps that its so easy for me to change around too [being that its made with washi tape + dry erase paint- two very forgiving materials]!

I got the idea instantly when I saw the paint on sale at Target. I had been thinking about making a washi tape wall calendar for some time, but never thought to use dry erase paint! PERFECT SCORE!

I don't have more pictures of the process, as my sim card was corrupted, but I was lucky enough to get these from my i-phone.

What I did :

-Used the blue painters tape to mark off a large square, as big as you want your calendar to be.
-Then mix up paint solution. Follow instructions + mix really well!
-Paint square section you taped off, let dry. Apply a second coat + following all other directions.
-Let dry completly.
-Use a tape measure to measure sections for calendar [this will be based on your preference]
-Apply washi tape.
-Use dry erase markers to label + date
-Tah-Dah!
