What can you make with old calendar pages?
Well I have a simple craft for you to make!
I love Susan Branch's artwork and I have saved all of her old calendars - I have used them for placemats, made gift bags and today I am sharing how to make an ornament for your Christmas Tree!
I chose three pages that had pops of red, made a tree shaped pattern....
....and cut out six shapes from the calendar pages:
I folded each one in half:
I glued them together in pairs, and let the glue dry....
...and then glued the 3 pairs all together:
I punched a hole in the top and used string as a hanger.
I also used the leftover paper to make a circle ornament and assembled it the same way!
Now let's see what the other designers created:
Thanks for stopping by, Patti
So cute, Patti! It's the perfect Christmas in July craft!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way to reuse old calendars, Patti! Very festive and colorful! Btw, I love your Handmade by Patti sign - too cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute Patti! I have been wanting to work on Christmas in July ideas, but I have not made it that far this month. Old calendars are perfect for reuse, I have never thought to use them as Christmas ornaments, you have inspired me to dig some of my old calendars out now.
ReplyDeleteSuch a creative use of old calendars, Patti. It's never too early to start planning and creating for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Patti! Calendars are perfect for this!
