Love the calendar!!

[@LimabeanLiving]

Yay! Thank you!

[@jeankuper1534]

Loved the calendar you made! I may use that too!

[@LimabeanLiving]

Thanks Jean! It may be better to use wood glue if you have it, but hot glue worked fine for me

[@SavingMamasita]

I love doing crafts, especially ones that are not going to break the bank. My daughter and I are going to try this one. We have a Dollar Tree in our town so this is perfect!

[@LimabeanLiving]

Awesome! I hope it goes well!!

[@BalancedLifeLeague]

Wow! I LOVE these DIY projects from the dollar tree. Thanks for great in depth tutorials. #GetLBLto100

I’ve always wanted some cute DIYs with those games pieces. They always turn out so cute the stain was a perfect touch. 💕 #getLBLto100

[@LimabeanLiving]

Omg this is so cute, you are so creative !!

Thank you! I enjoyed making it and plan on making more of the octagons for wall decor

Hi from Canada and a new subscriber

[@LimabeanLiving]

Welcome to the Limabean family!! From what I’ve seen, Canada seems to have much better Dollar Trees than the U.S. - I bet you can make so much cool stuff!

[@CluelessMamaD]

Great way to make the blocks. I actually just uploaded a Thrift diy video and one of them has the block as a countdown. The flower pot looks great too. I’m Drea a KZbin Mama Admin. Hit your button and looking forward to more DIYs

[@LimabeanLiving]

Thanks for the support! I’m considering make some more octagon pot covers as some wall decorations/shelves. They are so easy to make! I will be heading your channel’s way now!

[@karaniqueskorner]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this game at ours. But I’m going to search again! Super cute!

[@LimabeanLiving]

You can always check online. You may have to by in bulk, but there are tons of crafts to do with the leftovers!

[@lynnbaxley9085]

Hello 😄 I am a new subscriber and happy to find your videos! I will be attempting both projects,so I am wrist deep in acrylic paints(instead of staining) Dollar Tree always seems to have some of the cutest miniature figurines that would be an adorable addition to the calendar,as well as some flat-backed gems,that I can’t seem to ever find the bottom of that container after years of using them in any craft that bling would add to,lol. Thank you so much!!! #GetLBLto100

[@LimabeanLiving]

Welcome! I'm so happy to have you here. Since making this video, I've actually created a separate crafting channel: LIMABEAN CRAFTING where you can find all of my crafting ideas. This channel won't be focusing as much on my DIYs, as it is more of an "all-things-mom" channel. However, if you like my other content, I would love for you to stick around :) I bet your crafts will turn out great!

[@OrlyC]

Okay loved the calendar so much and how easy you made it look. Newly subscribed and def look forward to more diys.

[@LimabeanLiving]

Thank you! The calendar is one of my favorites! We will be posting another DIY involving the jenga pieces soon!

[@LimabeanLiving]

Here’s how I assembled the calendar: How I Built My Block Calendar | REQUESTED VIDEO | MONVICT Hot Glue Gun Discount kzbin.info/www/bejne/boLWfo1qfMl6ha8

[@MrMhgoodman71]

Just watched my first video. #getlblto100. Good luck

[@LimabeanLiving]

Thank you for your support! Our next giveaway will now be occurring when we hit 500 subs - so stayed tuned!

[@sabrinadodson5021]

How exactly do you put the calendar

[@LimabeanLiving]

I’m not sure I understand your question. I just make sure the month and day-if-the-week blocks are correct and facing out and then I rotate the blocks to display whatever the day of the month it is 01, 02, ..., 30, 31

[@sabrinadodson5021]

@@LimabeanLiving I was meaning how do you put it together like step by step

[@LimabeanLiving]

So you mean the frame part. Ok. Sorry - this was one of my first crafts on this channel so I didn’t explain it as well as I should have. First I glued three blocks together side by side a bunch of times (I think 24 squares total). From there you can create the pieces shown in the video - where you take the squares and glue them so one square’s blocks are vertical and the second square’s blocks are horizontal, etc. Using this method, I would build a 3x3 square (the vertical piece of the frame) and a 2x3 rectangle (the base of the frame). I would glue the 3x3 piece perpendicular to the center of the 2x3 piece. From there, you can glue on the shelves and pocket as displayed. I hope this helps. FYI - I’ve since created a separate channel for my crafts. Here’s one of my latest videos! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGSnpKZ3e9KVea8

[@LimabeanLiving]

I just posted a more detailed tutorial!

[@xyz...123-dgn]

Please share the link of your color spray...

[@LimabeanLiving]

Not sure what you mean here. I only used wood stain and white acrylic paint here. Can you rephrase?

[@xyz...123-dgn]

@@LimabeanLiving I have seen in your video that you were showing your wood stain spray for Jenga blocks..i don't remember which video is that...

[@LimabeanLiving]

The only wood stain I’ve really ever used is the one I show in this video. Honestly, I don’t think Martha Stewart company makes it anymore. I’ve had a difficult time finding it at Michael’s.

[@kellies71]

What about the # 9? Which block should it go on?

[@LimabeanLiving]

The 6 acts as both the 6 and the 9. If you put both a 6 and a 9, you won’t be able to make the numbers 01, 02, ..., 31. Hope this makes sense! Btw, I’m putting most of my craft videos on our new crafting channel, Limabean Crafting. So if you subscribed just for the crafts, I encourage you to head on over to that channel. However, I’d love for you to stick around for my other contact. Here is the link to my crafting channel: kzbin.info/door/ViJdeoeoUh04MWfdyb525w

[@kellies71]

Limabean Living that was my biggest “DUH” moment in history!! Lol. I thought about it right after I posted. Haha

[@LimabeanLiving]

Totally fine! I had to think about it too when I was designing this! You aren’t alone 😊

[@saraunrau9920]

Hello! How did you put the calendar together? You didn't show how to put the calendar together.

[@LimabeanLiving]

I know, I’m so sorry. This was one of my first craft videos on this channel - so I wasn’t too experienced with the filming/editing. Sorry! I attached the pieces with hot glue - but you could use wood glue too. I would start just gluing three pieces together at a time and then glue the sets of three together to form the pieces I mentioned.

[@saraunrau9920]

I did that and I'm not sure how to put the pieces together

[@kanine44]

@@saraunrau9920 agree. . Got all the sets... now what ?????

[@LimabeanLiving]

So sorry I didn’t show this step. I was still new to KZbin when I made this video. Let me piece together another one soon and film it and I won’t miss the steps!

[@LimabeanLiving]

I just posted the more detailed tutorial!

[@rachelduncan1860]

Love the ideas but would be great if you actually showed a video and slowed it down a lil bit on how you made the calendar, step by step videos would help y'all so much better instead of just talking.... And calling out numbers and all that

[@LimabeanLiving]

I totally agree. This was one of my first videos so there is obviously room for improvement! For more craft ideas (and hopefully better quality), feel free to check out my crafting channel: kzbin.info

@@LimabeanLiving yes maybe it was the this is us sign, I'm almost pretty sure it was, cause I member seeing the pizza pan 1 that was cute, cuter than the 1 I made when they 1st came out 😂. But maybe it was, I was just now going back threw seeing if I could find the video in my history
