Recycle Your Old Calendar!

For my first post of the new year I thought that

I would share a very simple project with you.

It's a new year and you have a new calendar on

your wall...now what do you do with the old

one?  It's too pretty to throw away so why not

convert it into simple artwork for your wall!

All you need to do is take apart your old 

calendar and trim off any excess from the edges.

For the frames, I used simple, inexpensive glass

clip frames from Hobby Lobby.  You can obviously

use any frame, but I wanted to feature the

artwork more than the frames so I used these.

I hung six of these gorgeous pictures in my main

bathroom in my hall and they look amazing!  You

may recognize the calendar from Jo-Anne of

Vintage Rose Collection.  It is so beautiful!

Now, while we are on the topic, I would like to

remind you that this is only okay if you are

recycling YOUR calendar.  It is not okay to take

photographs such as this and recopy them for

any reason.  That is copyright infringement. If

it is for your own use, then a-okay.  Any 

copying or reselling is unethical and takes away

from the integrity of the artist.  We all know

how hard artists and photographers work to

make something unique and beautiful!

So if you have a pretty, 2013 calendar still

hanging around you might want to try this!
