Mom makes her own version of the $200 Acrylic Calendar
Inflation is still a major issue, so many people have decided to do everything they can to save money. Anything, from extravagant-looking home renovations to Christmas tree tents, seems possible.
Mom and TikTok creator J Peace decided that her home needs one of these fancy-looking – and expensive – acrylic calendars, but in the DIY edition and on a budget. Let’s take a look!
It’s a great idea! These should be sold on Etsy.
A calendar is essential for everyone, especially if it is large enough to write on and can be erased. The outdated and inconvenient paper calendar is no longer practical. You can make an acrylic calendar if you don’t have one or need one for Christmas gifts.
To make this acrylic calendar, you would need an acrylic sheet, like this OPTIX one, available at Home Depot for only $25. The sheet is available in two sizes: the $25 one comes in 20 in. 32 in. x 0.093 in, and this one for $38 comes in the dimensions 36 in. x 30 inches. x.093 inches. It appears that she used two sheets, but it’s difficult to tell if they were different sizes.
You’d also need a particular printer that prints on vinyl paper, such as a label printer or something that’s called a circuit maker for $378, which is available at Michaels.
This creator also used a specific kind of screws, such as these Standoff Screws available on Amazon, to screw the sheets together and install it to the wall.
Finally, she chose a calendar template and selected a unique font to write the letters. Then, she printed everything on vinyl paper and applied it onto the acrylic sheets.
That’s it!
