Done in a Day: Wall Calendar
Create a can’t-ignore calendar that has a secret underneath―a layer of cork so the calendar doubles as a wall-size bulletin board.
Cork Board Wall
The wallpaper hanger glued the cork to the bare wall first and then installed raffia wallpaper on top. Using textured paper
such as raffia or grasscloth is key―it hides holes left by pushpins. To make the calendar, all you’ll need is a measuring
tape, scissors, grosgrain ribbon, large upholstery tacks, and self-fastening strips to attach the numbers, days of the week,
and month labels.
