How To: Make a 2009 Planner from Trash

We don't know about you, but every year on January 1 we resolve to get ourselves organized. Often, that resolution requires that we find some sort of portable planner or calendar.

This year, we won't be buying one; we'll be following the instructions we just found at greenUpgrader, and making our own.

All you need is some scrap paper, a printer, some cardboard from the recycling bin, and a few tools. GreenUpgrader even gives you some downloadable PDF week and month pages.

Here are all the instructions. We think this is a pretty easy project for even the most novice of crafters.

Happy 2009!

I do something similar to make my own notepads. I collect all my old one-sided printouts, cut them in half, stack them on top of a piece of cardboard, and then hold it all together with a binder clip.
