REPURPOSE CALENDAR PAGES

Welcome, it's been awhile posting to my blog.  In the process of cleaning my crafty/supple areas, I came across "LOTS" of Old Calendars I've saved.

Wanted to show you a way to have some fun with them.

I separated the pages by taking the staples out, Cutting the pages in half.  Pretty side down, 1st fold in left/right edges 3/4 of an inch, worked best for me.  I put the hole on top if you want to ;use a brad and string to open and close. Or at the bottom if sealing shut.  and fold down 2 3/4 inches to make a fold

2nd fold from the bottom to meet the this fold.  

3rd  Glue sides together....can insert a brad and add string, (maybe use reinforced self adhesive) You can color them or buy them in colors (BUT I can't find mine)

It was easier to work with the thinner papered calendar, than the textured heavier ones. But the heavier ones will hold up better.  Use for gift giving, journal pages, storing paper treasures.  

Thanks for stopping by.  Have fun creating.

A First at WOYWW

I have stopped many times at Glenda's or Hels blog to see the WOYWW  so thought today with a little time I'd drop in on the fun. The Stamping Ground has all the info and fun to peep around at all the entries. 
My work area is a large area in our lower level:  I love it, can leave the mess only to return to continue whatever my project may have been earlier...sometimes it just sits there and I start something totally new on the other table...
I made the BIG mistake Jan 2nd of cleaning and organizing...I haven't been able to quickly reach or find some things I use just by reaching out. But no doubt I will get use to it. I love the fact that by organizing "THINGS" it is easier to coordinate and see what I actually have.  (Way to Much )if my hubby comes down to visit..

In this picture the big pile of red is an old wool blazer I felted, with hopes of making some Valentine projects..best get busy it's not that far away...
Just next to this is another table

Under both tables are 6 plastic roller file drawer storage units which really keep a lot of goodies hidden!!!!!!!!!!!!  Well that's it for today...I have another project I am working on for storing ALL my Spellbinders so maybe can post that later next week.
Enjoy your day...It is bright and sunny here but terrifically COLD...
