Coasters
To make, cut your calendar slightly smaller than the size of a 4x4-inch ceramic tile (less than a dollar each at your local hardware store). Adhere it to the tile with decoupage glue, and gently use a scraper to smooth out any bubbles that form. Attach a cork square to the bottom with tacky glue. Finish by spraying with acrylic sealer to prevent the decoupage glue from becoming sticky when you place a hot beverage on top.
Phone Case
Trace your phone onto the calendar paper, and cut out. Next, trace around the camera and flash, and cut out. Place inside a clear phone case.
Framed Art
Cut out your favorite pages from your calendar, and get them professionally framed at your local frame store.
Bookmark
Cut strips from your calendar using scissors or straight cutter to the size of a typical bookmark. Round the edges with scissors, and poke a hole at the top with a hole punch. Thread a variety of ribbons through and tie.
