I couldn't wait to show you this fun framed mini calendar! I love a project that is simple to put together. I love making and receiving useful personalized gifts! So when I came across this darling calendar kit from Boutique Cute Dolls I just had to make some mini 3×3 calendars to give as gifts this Christmas. You can never have enough calendars around the house. I love curvy frames and chipboard. For this tutorial I made one of each. The chipboard obviously is less expensive to purchase. I thought it would be great for adding magnets to the back of the chipboard and hanging on the fridge. The wood frame would be nice to display on a desk or counter, nightstand etc. Really anywhere that you need to have quick access to the calendar.
The items I used for this project were a chipboard and a wooden frame. I chose an opening with a 3×3 size. The calendar file shows a 6×6 size. I shrunk mine down to fit the frames. I painted the wood an antique white color with a sponge brush. While the paint was drying I printed the file out on card stock and cut them out.

Are you ready to download the 2014 calendar file and make some for Christmas gifts? I just could not pass up on making one for my kitchen counter too! Such a fun and simple way to share a great gift!
