Well, it’s hard to believe but it’s almost time to start calendar shopping for next year. Before you toss your old one, consider some of these ideas:
Reuse old calendars
- Turn your old calendar into unique wrapping paper…best part is that you can use the dated side as well as the photo side.
- Get crafty by cutting up the photos and using them to decorate your scrapbooks, frames, coasters, etc. The possibilities are endless.
- Donate them to schools or nursing homes. They’ll gladly take these off your hands to help teach students and adults alike how to count and to help train their memory.
- Use the photos as writing workshop tools.
- Plan ahead and look for a calendar with photos that would complement your decor. When that year/month is over, frame the picture and hang it up.
- Cut the squares out and rearrange to make a new calendar! Bonus—all the birthday and anniversary notes you wrote down last year won’t change.
