This is a great way to use up old calendars. You can also use pretty scrap-booking papers or magazines or greeting cards too. These make great gifts and wonderful stocking stuffers too. Tuck a little book into your purse so you can jot down things before you forget. Try making some little books using a theme, such as making all your quilting friends a little book using an old quilt calendar; or use an old knitting calendar for your knitting friends, a children's calendar for the little ones, etc. You will be recycling, upcycling and repurposing all at once!
Making Little Books From Old Calendars
Daryl Perry ~ Patchouli Moon Studio
I love color and textiles and that is why I started making quilts, quilted wall hangings and then got hooked on making handbags and other bags. I sell my handbags on my blog too. I started a blog in 2008 to document everything that I make. I blog at https://www.patchouli-moon-studio.blogspot.com Please drop by and see what I create.
I have designed a few patterns in pdf format to sell here and I also offer a few free pdf patterns as well.
