Make Your Own Whiteboard Calendar with Magnets!

[@jeanjarrett4621]

This will make great gifts for our siblings and their families with all of the kids activities.

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes! For sure!

[@UnikByLizO]

I am grateful for your kindness and generosity Jennifer, we all win everyday that you share a wonderful project idea like this one, I know I need one of these to keep my forgetful mind organized! Thanks for sharing!

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome!

[@ElizabethS409]

Very nice! As my kiddos and their friends set up their households, this would be a special gift! I wish I would have had one when my family was young and going everywhere!

[@JenniferMaker]

I agree. It would have been helpful.

[@XxNekoJennyxX]

I used your tutorial for iron on vinyl and my project came out beautifully. Thank you.

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome!

[@donnasafley9436]

This made me think of a new project idea for you....a medication tracker. This can help parents communicate when the last dose was given and/or when the dose should be given.

[@JenniferMaker]

That is a great idea!

[@georgialewis7645]

Oh so neat I've taken an old door I'm planning to put cork and Dry erase bord on it for family communications board.. This design will add so much more to my project.

[@JenniferMaker]

That's a great idea!

[@nerfbandits4746]

I love the hearts on each side of Maker

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you!

[@brendakatrein7430]

Awesome idea to keep track of a family and who’s where when. Also good just for me to keep track of projects that need to be made by specific dates., and when I have free time to work on them around other things that have to be done.

[@JenniferMaker]

Absolutely!

[@crispingunn2601]

Perfect for a gift and simple instructions. On my list for projects.

[@JenniferMaker]

Perfect!

[@sherrijones8550]

I love all the projects you do and I am so glad you put a way to do them without the Cricut Cutter because I do not have one. Thank You so much

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome, Sherri! Thank YOU for letting me know that you still craft with us even though you don't have a Cricut! We put the pdf files in our Library, hoping that non-Cricut crafters will choose to create with us, also, but are never sure if anyone is actually doing that! You showed us that they are!!!! Thank you!!!!! 😍

Oh my goodness!!! I am obsessed with this project!!! I think I will make this after my Nativity candles!!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Please do!

@@JenniferMaker Forgive me if you've already done a video on this but, how do I get the fun hearts next to my name at the top of the calendar? Thank you! I'm still new at this and this will be the most intricate project I do!

Thank you!

[@99deborah99]

I have had a board like this for all of the activities when my children and my two step children were in sports and I was going every which way. Each child had a different colored marker so we knew who was who. So now that they are grown I use my board to keep me on task for drinking water, exercising and taking my vitamins.

[@JenniferMaker]

That is very useful! ❤️

[@99deborah99]

The other thing that I did was take a picture of it with my phone and then it is with me. Another idea is to forward that picture to the kids after you update it so they don’t miss appointments too.

[@janetseman3236]

Any tips for reducing the size of this to fit a smaller board. I am doing a smaller one for my granddaughter. It is portrait and size 9 x 12. Thanks!

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes! Create your design, and once you have everything where you want it, make sure the whole design is selected, and the lock icon is on...then drag one corner until it is the size you want. Or, you could use a "guide" (found in the operations menu) to make sure you get the size you desire.

[@kim-knaak]

How well this held up between erases? Any tips on sealing the vinyl to make sure it adheres permanent as it’s supposed to be? Also any suggestions on the safest/best way to clean it?

Will the magnetic sheets work with a laser printer? I bought the sheets but I have a laser printer. Originally, I was going to do the days of the week with vinyl. Can you do that too?

[@JenniferMaker]

I am not sure the magnetic sheets can go in a laser printer, but I am sure you could print on a paper and use spray adhesive to adhere it to the magnetic sheet.

Hi Jen, I followed your instructions and used the dimensions that you have on the design space. However, when I hit "make it" the months and days do not fill up the page as yours did. they all fit on one quarter of the page. How do I get it to fit spaced out and bigger like yours?

Make sure to ungroup everything and you can move them around and size them to your liking. There are details on the blog post. jennifermaker.com/diy-whiteboard-calendar/
