Cookie Sheet Calendar

Supplies Needed:
Cookie Sheet (make sure it's magnetic!!)
Scrapbook Paper
Mod Podge
Number Stickers
Circle Magnets
Ribbon
Rectangle Wood Pieces
LOTS of odds and ends
(ie. dice, buttons, game pieces, puzzle pieces, dominos, old keys, etc.)

My friend and I made this one.
Before we started, we sanded the cookie sheet to hlep the paint stick better, otherwise the spray paint with just bead up. Add you scrapbook paper, cut strips to make the squares for the days, and a spot for the month at the top. We used objects that we had laying around and even shopped at stores to find "the perfect things". Sea shells, buttons, game pieces, cookie cutters, etc. We added vinyl lettering numbers to some and put scrapbook numbers on the others to label each day. For each month, we used a rectangle piece of wood and mod podged the paper onto it. We found all sorts of cute odds and ends (that we found laying around our houses) to add to each month. The month pieces fit perfectly onto the back of the cookie sheet for storage!

Happy Calendaring!
