Hello there,
I just realized it’s been ages since my last recycle quick tip.
Last year I was lucky to win one of Annette’s calendars. Well 2016 is over and I really thought the calendar was too cute to just hand it over to the trash bin. So: What to do with old calendars? I asked myself.
While I was writing down my goals – one being to write birthday cards to every person this year as I have been doing back in 2015 – an idea struck me.
Why not make postcards…
Well the how to is too easy but still here it is:
- find an old postcard for measurements
- get out a craft knife and cutting mat
- Figure out what part of the calendar you want to use
- cut away
- draw the backside – remember to meet legal requirements, you don’t want your card to be returned to you.
Here you find German requirements. - write postcard and make someone happy
Well that’s what I did with my calendar. I also have a couple nice photo calendars which will be put into frames.
What your you doing with old calendars? Let me know in the comments.
Happy Wednesday,
Tobia
I’ll be adding this quick DIY to Herzblutprojekte and Wow me Wednesday. Go check them out to find more inspiration!

Hi Tobia,
that is a real nice idea. :D I do not have any calendar since I live in Lisbon. I have only a small storage in my room, and we are not allowed to decorate the walls. It is, as I got informed “damage others stuff on purpose”.
Lovely greetings
Rea

Oh wow. But maybe you can use those sticky nails from Tesa. I just got some because I am too lazy but haven’t tried yet.
Great day to you
Tobia
Oh, I do not care. I have a pocket calendar. Pretty enough . All important things are in…
Greetings,
Rea

Ohhhh! Das freut mich ja riesig! So kommt der Kalender gleich noch einmal zum Einsatz, aber eben ein wenig anders. Ganz liebe Grüße, Annette
Genau das dachte ich mir auch!
Grüße zurück

I love this idea. :) Thanks for sharing.
I usually just keep my old calendars as they’re also partly ‘journals’ for me.

Yes I do too with the book binded ones. But the wall calendar usually ends up in the trash. No more.
