The Attempters DIY : Frame Your Week

STEP BY STEP: “Frame Your Week”

Materials:

a. gather/purchase 8 frames (1 for each day of the week and an extra for “to do”). These can be your existing frames or all new from a craft store (or for cheaper ones, go to Walmart or Dollar Tree). You can paint the frames or leave them as they are.

b. scrapbook paper to fit into each frame (You can find 5 for $1 at your local JoAnn)

* you can even use some notebook or construction paper if you want!

c. scissors

d. dry erase markers (skinny ones work best!)

e. Super glue/ Wood Glue (depending on what your frames are made of)

f. poster board to glue on and transport

**Optional: For the days of the week, you can do one of three things. You can either type up the Sunday-Saturday and “To Do” on your computer’s word processor (ie. Word or Pages) in the font of your choice and size of your choice (we used ____) and print. Cut the words out and glue/Modge Podge them to each piece of paper you designate for that day. Do NOT glue the days to the glass (they will peel). OR if you are daring, take a Sharpie or other permanent marker and write the days on the paper yourself! (Hint: use a pencil first to make sure you are centered on the a paper!) OR If you can find them, buy some stickers!

STEP 1: After you choose your scrapbook/scrap paper, cut the paper to fit each frame.

STEP 2: After you decide whether to write the days of the week, print out the days, or use stickers... put each day and “to do” onto the paper you choose.

STEP 3: Put each paper into each frame.

STEP 4: Arrange frames in order and glue the edges together. It’s easiest to transport if you do this step on a piece of poster board.

STEP 5: Take your masterpiece to a dry place to dry for at least 24 hours. Make sure it is stored in a flat place so the frames will dry flush with each other.

STEP 6: Hang it up and use your skinny dry erase markers to plan your week!
