This year is winding down and if you are like me you have some organizing to do. One of the best ways I accomplish this is by having a calendar. I like to keep up with appointments that are coming up, write my shopping lists and also make small goals for the upcoming year. At the end of each year, I like to look back and remember what I accomplished.
You don't have to spend a lot of money on a calendar. In fact I found this one at Dollar Tree and thought I would digitize a topper for it so I can hang it on my refrigerator. The project is easy to finish and you can use your 5x7 hoop. There is no hand sewing involved but you will need to use three different designs to complete the calendar topper. When you download the design you will get full color instructions that show all measurements and process.
This particular calendar works well because it is very lightweight and comes with a small wire hanger. The project wraps up with a ribbon and snaps to hang the topper from the calendar. There are also pockets on the back where you can insert magnets so it will stick to your surface.
The chalkboard fabric is appliqued onto the topper and gives you a great place to add notes and lists. I love how it looks on my fridge. Just having a place to begin my organization really inspires me to work on it. I have a You Tube video below that shows the entire project from start to finish. Maybe it will inspire you to do some organizing yourself! You can see the design in my store here. I hope you have enjoyed this post, share what you learn and are generous with what you create. Someone will appreciate your hard work!
