Easy Chalkboard Birthday Calendar

Happy New Year everyone! So crazy that it’s already 2015, right? I swear we were just partying like it was 1999 last year! I guess we’ve been having fun because time sure has flown by. One of my resolutions for last year was to try and be a little more organized with my personal and business life. I made this easy Chalkboard Birthday Calendar for Crafts Unleashed last year and it’s totally helped with remembering important dates. Hope it helps you guys as well too!

Chalkboard Birthday Calendar

Materials:

•  7″x10″ Chalkboard
• White Paint Marker
• White Graphite Paper
• Fine Sandpaper
• Ribbon (optional)
• Craft Paint (optional)
• Chalk Marker
• Free Chalkboard Birthday Calendar Printable

Step One. Print and cut the Free Chalkboard Birthday Calendar Printable. Layer the free printable and graphite paper over the chalkboard surface and trace image with a pencil or pen. You’ll notice that I switched from cursive lettering for the months to block letters. Much easier!

Step Two. Use a fine point permanent paint pen to trace over the graphite tracing. Allow to dry completely before using the fine sandpaper to erase any noticeable graphite lines.

Step Three. You can either leave the frame plain or add paint and ribbon embellishments. The choice is totally yours! I decided to add a satin ribbon to the top of mine and affixed it in place with a glue gun. I like how the satin plays off the chalkboard look!

Step Four. Use a fine tipped chalk marker to enter in the birthdays of your friends and family!
