 Few
things serve as better reminders than a calendar. Unfortunately,
once the year is past most calendars get tossed in the
trash or packed away in a closet. With Bucilla Felt
Calendars, though, there's no reason to keep those precious
memories locked up in the dark!
You
can breathe new life into last year's calendar by cutting
out your favorite designs and turning them into magnets
for your refrigerator, or holiday ornaments. Such everyday
trinkets will become beloved tokens of special people
and events - creating new memories to go along with
the old ones!
If
you've run out of space on your refrigerator, and your
Christmas tree already has too many ornaments (especially
homemade ones!), use your felt calendar cutouts to decorate
a journal
or scrapbook cover. Or use them to embellish a special
photo
album. What better way to mark the pages of your
life (literally!) than with your own handmade designs?
If
you'd rather share your designs with loved ones, you
can sew them onto quilting squares. Your memories will
help keep your family warm as they're handed down through
the generations! Now that's recycling!
It's
easy to incorporate last year's calendar in nearly every
craft project. First coat the back with spray adhesive,
then press a piece of white felt the size of the calendar
onto the back. Allow to dry. Then cut the calendar as
desired. It's that simple!
Remember:
Felt and sequined calendar pieces are not washable.
Do not apply them to fabric that must be washed.
Once
you start a new tradition of reusing old felt calendars,
keep it going! Friends and family will be more excited
than ever to unwrap and hang their 2008 calendars when
they see how they can continue enjoying their older
designs for more than twelve months.
