Description

Paint sample cards are so colorful and their grid is perfect to make a calendar with. With the help of a Xyron ezLaminator to laminate with a magnetic backing all in one step this project is a snap to make!

Instructions

  1. Small 114414 2f2016 06 01 170902 paint%2bsample%2bmagnetic%2blaminate

    Select 7 colors of paint samples and run them through the Xyron ezLaminator with the magnetic cartridge in it.

    After you have laminated the paint chips cut each one out.

  3. Small 114414 2f2016 06 01 171126 magnetic%2bmeasuring%2btape

    For the moveable numbers I used a recycled measuring tape. I can them through the machine and cut each one out.

  4. Small 114414 2f2016 06 01 171229 magnetic%2bdays%2bof%2bthe%2bweek

    I printed out the days of the week and the month on standard paper and ran them through the magnetic laminator as well. Each month I will print out the new month and rearrange the numbers to reflect the correct days of that particular month.
