Next, measure a piece of paint swatch and cut it into a 2–inch by 2.5–inch rectangle. Continue cutting until you have 35 paint swatches. 

Cut your paint swatch chips to measure 2x2.5 inches.

Lay out and affix the paint swatches to the board. Arrange them in 5 rows of 7 columns. Save scraps of rectangles to label the days of the week at the top of your calendar.

You can secure the swatches on your background paper by rolling a piece of scotch tape at the back of each paint swatch and stick them firmly to your background.

Once it’s secured, place it inside the frame.

Finally, take your dry-erase marker and label your calendar. The glass of the frame acts like a dry-erase board so you can customize your calendar and change it every month!
