HOW TO USE A PAST YEAR PLANNER(free organisation's planner) By organisation planner I mean those free agendas that companies give to their workers or spread at different shops or other companies as means of marketing.(Those that have a companies name printed in big letters on the cover and every page with their logo or the like) As a matter of fact you can use this method for any past year planner. (I was lucky, my dad gave me a past year moleskine daily agenda ^_^) 1. The cover- depending on how big the logos or the year the planner was intended to be used you may want to stick something on that or if it is very very apparent and can't be covered then you can make a fabric cover for it. 2. Cover the year inside of the pages- I used a thin flag to cover it, as for the pages that have calendars on them well: 3. Use free month calendars(maybe you got a table calendar by the same company which gave you the planner) and cut them and stick them to the pages with the calendars intended in the planner 4. And lastly, what bothers you most when using a past year planner is the fact that dates have the wrong days of the week for your current year of usage, you can fix this by some free planner stickers(the source of my stickers is in the photo). And ba-damm! It's as good as new. If you are using this for school and you say for example start school in september, which means that you can only use the planner for 3 months, do this: just use it normally for those three months and when january kicks in start at page one. I hope this helped. Another idea of spending less on a planner/bujo is buying one of those chinese journals with black fake leather covers on them (sometimes they have prettier covers). Those which don't have dates on them, just the place to write the date(usually they have pages with grids). They have a quality good enough to last for the full year and the paper is quite nice plus there's plenty of room for personalisation and quite fit for a bujo since the pages are blank(ok they have grids on them but yet).

HOW TO DECORATE YOUR CALCULATOR CASE Well, this isn't the most original thing I have ever done but after searching the net and coming across superb tutorials in which they painted the case of the calculator, I decided it was too much work and just used my ruler method, which I uploaded a few days ago, that is using stickers and deco tape. I personally like this method bc you can reuse your stationery, it will be pretty and you can adapt it to the theme of different years, too. And since I like keeping a theme on my school supplies this is ideal. Btw 'Good Luck!' to everyone who started school or will be starting it soon. Love <3

DIY RULER DECORATING I have yet to see someone who gets exited over rulers(if you do please don't take any offence, this is of course a personal thought of mine) and that happens because they are sort of really dull and rarely have any extra features. That is not to say they are not useful or needed or unimportant bc damn they are in almost all of scientific studies at least. So in order to make them more pleasing or to reyse old but good strong ones you had as a child I have been using this method for the past 2 years: Take your ruler and some deco tape(or washi for the matter or even simply colored tape if you like) and stickers(i sort of regret my choice of stickers in this one but its ok since it matches my other supplies) and simply cut strips of deco tape and stick them on the ruler like I am doing here. Then add stickers if you want. Always remember not to affect the numbers bc thats what you will be using a ruler for. I personally find this method great bc I love this ruler but not that image on top of it and this way I can not only have it like I want it, it also seems new year after year. This is my method bc it is highly compatible with my ruler but when searching for this sort of diy online I adopted also from the following methods which are more compatible with plastic or woden rulers. For plastic clear rulers(or even colored ones for the matter if you like how it turns out of course): It's pretty much similar but you will be using patterned paper instead of tape(if the ruler doesn't have any sticker on top, if it does proceed like I did in the example photos). Cut the paper the identical shape of your ruler(bc the numbers will not be affected this way) and put some clear glue or use roll glue on the patterned side of the paper(NOT on the white side). Then take your ruler and put it on top of the paper. Please note that if you want to be able to see under the number scale you may want to cut the paper shorter so that part is left clear. For wooden rulers: Protect the number scale with masking tape and paint them as you wish. And done. That's what I had in store for today(my eyes are starting to hurt so break time) Love <3
