Week by Week

One of the best ways to stay organized in college is to take things week by week.

The easiest way to do that is to make a weekly calendar! I made the one pictured above out of four simple items; a picture frame, scrap booking paper, a sharpie, and Command strips.

Step 1: Buy all the supplies.

 

Most of these items were inexpensive and I already had them in my house. The most expensive thing being the frame which was around $12 at Target. The paper was around $4 from Wal-Mart and the Sharpie I already had but they run around $3.30. The Command strips come in a pack of 12 and run around $8.  

Step 2: Write on the frame.

 

If you aren't the best at calligraphy, don't fret. You can always try your best, do what you know you can do, or find someone that can. I did all the calligraphy myself so I am always open to helping!

 

Step 3: Pick out the paper to go behind the glass.

 

When picking out the perfect paper, just know that you have to be able to read what is written on the
glass. It helps if it is lighter colors or mainly white with hints of black. I didn't really follow the whole light paper tip but I was trying to match the colors of my bed spread, so don't judge.

 

Step 4: Hang the frame on the wall.

 

This is pretty self explanatory but my only tips are to have a second person around to help you level it out. 

This is not only a good way to keep yourself organized, but you will look like a pro at D-I-Y projects while you are at it.
