Spray the edge of the comal or metal pan the color you desire. No need to paint the portion that will be covered by your calendar. Be sure to work in a well-ventilated area.
Depending on the size and shape of your frame, create a digital perpetual calendar page as shown above: - Create a file 8 1/2 x 11 inches at resolution 300 psi;
- Create the size and shape you need to fit your frame;
- Layer a background paper and clip it to the shape (my pretty musical themed background paper is from Scrap Girls);
- Type in the abbreviated months of the year;
- Type the numbers 1 through 31 arranged 7 to a row;
- Elsewhere on the page, create the size and shape buttons you need to fit your magnets;
- On one magnet shape, type "Month", on another "Today", and on the others type the task name or use a graphic image to remind you of the chore.
Print onto glossy photo paper; let ink dry about a minute. Cut out the shapes.
Take the shapes to a well-ventilated area and spray with clear acrylic to prevent ink bleed.
Use a compatible glue like Liquid Fusion to glue the calendar onto the metal frame and the reminder buttons onto the magnets. Let dry
Use a foam brush to spread two coats of decoupage medium onto the magnet buttons and the calendar. Let dry thoroughly before using your handy dandy perpetual reminder calendar.
