Today I am sharing how I took old calendars and turned them into my Spring Clipboard Gallery Wall!
I first posted about how to install the clipboards in our dining room and then showed how I was able to update the prints for the holidays.
Now that spring is around the corner (maybe wishful thinking, but still), I thought it was time for a colorful update.

Let me give a disclaimer. I’m a crazy paper person. If I could own 45 paper calendars each year and not look like a nut, I would. I think I’ve shared before my weakness for paper journals.
With that being said, I keep many of my old calendars. This year, I was able to re-use 2013’s calendar in a timely fashion. I had bought one on Etsy from a store called, Dozi. You must check her out, she’s wonderfully talented!
I pulled out my favorite eight months and cut them down to size.
I attached some ribbon to the back of each cut print and hung them that way. I like how it adds a bit of extra interest.
I think these are turning out to be my favorite clipboard prints to date!
Lovely colours…Good idea and wonderful project!
Thanks so much, Patrizia!
Wow, so super creative! And even better– they turned out adorable!

I love your stuff!
I love clipboard gallery walls – I just made a small one in my home office. Never would have thought to re-use old calendars like this, though. Genius!
Thanks, Aimee! It was a nice way to reuse all the calendars I have sitting around, too!
Thank you for doing something SPRING! You just made my day (as I sit here with pneumonia, and it’s 7 degrees outside with 1 1/2 feet of snow) !!! Your clipboards are adorable – I love them! Julia
Oh no, the polar vortex has hit you big time it sounds! Spring is just around the corner… even if it doesn’t seem like it quite now. Thanks for stopping by, even when you’re sick. =)

Thanks for stopping by, Amanda!
These are really cute! Such a creative idea. And I, like you, have a small paper obsession. I could spend hours in the scrapbook paper aisle…you can just do SO MUCH with it 🙂 Great idea!
Thanks, Ashley. Oh my, the scrapbook paper aisle is a dangerous area for me!! =)
Great idea Amy – loved that the pictures can be changed out with minimal effort. Pinned.
Joy
Thanks, Joy. I’ve really loved how easy it’s been to interchange the pictures so far!
Those prints are the cutest! The whole things looks so pretty together. Cheerful and spring-y! 😀
I was pretty sure I just had to use this old calendar for something. These prints were too cute to pass up!
Hi, stopping by to pay you a visit from the Awesome Things Blog Hop. Very pretty wall decorations and great idea. It would also work well for hanging my granddaughters’ art. Est wishes, Darlene
Thanks for stopping by, Darlene. That’s the beauty of these clipboards… I can change them out with anything, kid’s art included!

Thanks for stopping by Tasha! I’m definitely excited to be able to so easily switch out the art work!
Oh my gosh. Now it seems so obvious but I really never would have thought to use old calendars as art prints! This is amazing, Amy!! Thanks for the word on the Etsy shop <3.
I know… I save so many calendars and it wasn’t until right now that it dawned on me to use them for wall art!
Calendars make the most affordable prints! Love it!
