My mom has this amazing ability to remember all of her families birthdays without having to write them down. I am talking about immediate family and cousins, nieces, nephews, great nieces, close friends, and the list goes on. She tries to make it a habit to call them to wish them a happy birthday and talk for a minute or two. Dan and I saw this family birthdays calendar on Pinterest and both thought it would be something she would like. |
For this project you will need:
- Wood for the top piece (You can either buy a sign from a craft store like we did or cut your own piece of wood to the size you want.)
- 1 1/2" wooden discs (I am pretty sure you can get them at Hobby Lobby, but they were sold out every time I went so I bought them from Micheal's online and shipped them to the store.)
- Wood blocks for the months (You can use the discs above if you like. Dan and I cut a wooden yard stick into 1 1/2" sections. Our goal was to set the months more visually apart from the days by making them a different shape.)
- Paint (Whatever colors you like!)
- Paint brushes
- 1/16" drill bit and drill
- Jump rings (We bought 3/8" size)
- Eye Hooks (We bought 13/16" size)
