3 Ways to Up-Cycle Your Vitamin Sea Calendar
I wasn’t kidding when I said my 2024 Vitamin Sea calendars are BANG for your $35 BUCKS!
If you bought a 2023 calendar from me last year, you’ll likely have it displayed in your home or work space right now. This blog post is designed for you to think beyond the recycling bin come 31st December 2023 and enjoy the artworks featured in your Vitamin Sea or La Luna calendar well into 2024.
Don’t just take it from me, hear what happy customers have to say about this calendar!
The massive benefit of these calendars is that you can enjoy the photos daily throughout the year, then have a crafternoon over the Christmas & New Year holidays and enjoy your fave photos over and over again, or make gifts for friends and family that could otherwise be costly in both money and energy spent thinking about what to get.
I’m all about gifts from the heart, without draining the wallet. Our highest financial priorities at the moment are food, mortgage and looking after our own physical and mental health. Needless to say, I love gifting but the cost can easily add up especially when you haven’t budgeted for all those little gifty nick-nacks for your fave people.
There’s a lot of financial pressures at the moment that everyone is feeling collectively, and I want to try to show you how you can alleviate those and cut out unnecessary costs by simply up-cycling your 2023 calendar as we move into 2024.
So, while my toddler napped, I spent a crafty hour putting my favourite ideas into practice. Here are 3 ways you can up-cycle your Vitamin Sea calendars:
1. Make art by framing a photo
By far THE most affordable way to get some of my art on your walls. Cut off the binding holes and the calendar part, then put in ya fave frame. Put it somewhere you can enjoy it or create bespoke (yet cost effective) gifts for friends. My girl maths suggests that works out at $2.91 per print - bloomin’ heck I can’t even get a bunch of bananas for that cheap right now.
2. Compile an inspirational wall collage
Framed or unframed, you decide. I’ve always loved compiling images in small groups with similar colours (or very contrasting colours) to make moods boards, vision boards, or just add a bit of extra zing to my space. Groups of three are especially pleasing to the eye. I’m already nature-lusting just looking at these on my office wall.
3. Create bespoke greetings cards
Umm… I think this is my FAVE one. Like, how expenny are greetings cards?! The best pictures to do this with are the abstract water pics (or the moon ones if you got my La Luna calendar for 2023), cut them up into multiple small pieces and then arrange as you like on blank greetings cards. I just got these from The Warehouse for under $10.
