New Year Wall Calendar Craft
Today, Erin and I have had another lazy day at home. It is currently 1pm, and we are all still in our jammies. This is what Christmas Holidays are for. I recently shared my Review of 2016, and am looking forward to what 2017 will bring!
As a bit of fun craft, we decided to create a 2017 wall calendar today. These are super easy to make, and look great on the wall.
To make your own you will need:
- Coloured Cardboard
- Paint
- Dabber (optional)
- Prittstick
- Party Poppers x 3
- 2017 Calendar Book (you can purchase these from Hobbycraft or other craft stores).
- String or Ribbon (for hanging).
Firstly, draw and cut out the numbers for the year – in this case a 2, 0, 1 and 7. I did this for Erin as her scissor control isn’t there yet! 🙂
Using Prittstick or any other glue that dries clear, dab a small amount on to the numbers so that they stick in place when lay flatt on another piece of card.
Let your child use the dabber to dab paint around the numbers.
Peel away the numbers, to reveal the blank card beneath.
Pop three party poppers (Erin enjoyed this bit!). Put glue onto the numbers and then stick the party popper confetti in place.
Finally, mount the finished picture onto another piece of card, and stick on the 2017 calendar.
Punch a small hole into the top of your finished calendar, and thread the string (or ribbon) ready to hang.
Our calendar now has pride of place in the kitchen! 🙂
Wishing all my readers a happy and healthy new year! I hope it is a good one for you! 🙂
