call me a thief.

happy wednesday.

i thought i'd share a little project on the blog today.

i don't share {or do} a lot of diy's, thanks to my busy schedule.

however, yesterday i was feeling awfully crafty-

and the leisure summertime allowed me to create something fun.

i totally stole this idea from one of my best friends, 

and would link it to her blog if she had one. {hint, hint}

it's time to get your craft on,

and create a fun, inexpensive and adorable calendar! 

"call me a thief":

that title relates to the fact, that i made this project for a grand total of $3.

{pretty impressive, right? so cheap and so cute!}

what you will need:

1. paint samples {usually free! i got mine at home depot}

2. a lovely picture frame! {this one was on sale at Michael's for $3}

3. dry erase marker.

4. of course you will need the essentials: scissors and glue.

instructions:

1. simply pick out your paint samples and colors. {six colors in total}

i chose to do an "ombre" look, however mixed colors are darling too!

2. trim to the size you want your boxes.

3. paste onto a solid white piece of paper the size of your frame.

4. on top of the picture frame's class, using a dry erase maker:

 label the month, days, and events you have going on that month.

5. ta-da! that's it. now, go hang it in your cute home!

so simple, and you'll feel like a thief too.

creating a project for $3 is a complete steal, if you ask me!

plus- it's a craft that keeps on giving.

all you have to do, is erase it when the month is over,

and you'll have a brand new calendar for the next month! 

p.s. sorry for the low quality photo's- lovebird has our camera back home with him.

also, don't mind my ugly hand writing- i simply just jotted a few things

down to show you an example. i've obviously got some touching up to do!
