Magnetic Chalkboard Calendar


This is a magnetic chalkboard calendar I recently made. I spray painted a canvas with Krylon magnetic paint, painted it with Crayola chalkboard paint, and then painted the grid and days of the week with normal acrylic paint. I punched two holes in the canvas to hang it with a raffia bow, and I made magnets with numbers 1-31 on them to mark the days of the month. I print out the numbers on colored paper in a creative font and used Modge Podge to glue them to the back of a glass bead. I learned that magnetic paint does not work the greatest on canvases so you may want to use a different medium if you try this project.
