Start with 14” square dry erase calendars, about $7 each at most superstores or online.
Build a shelf sized to fit the calendars using the plans below.
Easily change between months by rotating calendars upward.
Why I Designed This Project
We’ve tried so many different calendar ideas – from paper calendars, to giant desktop paper calendars – I tried syncing electronic calendars, and wall mounted dry erase. Nothing ever solved all the problems and was easy to use.
Yesterday, I was out shopping and saw 14″ x 14″ square dry erase calendars on the shelf.
And the project just came to me, right there in the store aisle. I could see it, see how it worked, I knew exactly to build.
Twelve board feet of 1×6 and four board feet of 1×3, and eighteen screw later, I built this!
Why this is the Best Wall Calendar System Ever
We’ve struggled for years with so many different calendar ideas and products. Here’s why this calendar is the best system we’ve ever had:
- Calendars set on a shelf, so can be easily removed to edit and change
- 3 month calendar, so you are able to add events and plans to the next month, and the month after, without having to take notes, flip pages or other hassles
- Easily transition to the next month by simply removing the top calendar and erasing, then moving the two lower calendars up, and then adding the now blank calendar to the bottom, preserving all your plans and appointments
- Displayed clearly on the wall for all to see at all times
- Beautiful solid wood design adds a decor element to your space
- It’s only one thing to hang – not multiple items to hang
- Narrow profile fits in narrow spaces, even the side of the fridge
- Shelf is big enough to hold the dry erase markers
- Eco-friendly – stop buying throw away calendars
- Long term solution – you can replace the square dry erase calendars easily if needed
This calendar system is going to help us keep our times organized and make plans well in advance.
How I Built this Calendar Shelf
While this is a quick and easy build, there is a technique to hide the screws on the back – do take a minute to watch my video tutorial:
