Welcome back! It's Day 2 of A Handcrafted Christmas at Taylored Expressions! Today I have another fun project to share with you. There are so many possibilities for the Frame Your Imagination Vertical Stand, and today's video will focus on using it as a calendar display. I love giving calendar gifts at Christmas because they'll be loved and appreciated for all twelve months of the coming year!
I'll be featuring the month of March in the video, but you can find photos of each month of my calendar project below along with supply lists and our 12 Days of Christmas specials. Let's get started!
You might also want to pick up an extra Frame Your Imagination Stand and try one of these projects! It makes a great home decor display, an changeable scrapbook for grandma & grandpa, a practical jewelry holder, or even an organizer for your stencil collection!
Here is a list of the products used in today's project! You'll find new specials in our 12 Days of Christmas category to get you started on the projects we've shared so far!

Cute calendar pages!
This frame is one of my favorite things. I have one right now in my craft area that holds favorite recipes! I love the idea of making a calendar and an earring holder! I want to make some of those for myself! Very cute projects, Taylor!! :)
Very cute idea. I also like someone else's idea of using it for recipe stand.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea! I might have to get working on these!
Great idea really and so nice and creative to add your own touch to the special months. I really like it.
What a cute calendar! St. Patty's is one of my favorite holidays to papercraft - thanks for the great idea! This would be easy to make bases in bulk - then add personalized touches when coloring images and painting the stand!
Fun idea and the possiblilities are endless! Fantastic job, Taylor!
Love your pages Taylor!
I have enjoyed my calendar for the last year. It's so great for my desk at work.

Wow this would make an awesome Christmas gift for those special people in our lives.
There must have been a great demand for these as I see it is out of stock...will keep checking back!! A must have.
Hi Taylor. I used one of your calendar stands last year and made a wonderful Bridal Shower gift by having each guest at the shower write a note to the Bride to Be (advice, encouragement, a Scripture verse, etc.) and then I put each note on a 6 x 6 page, added some ribbon and other embellishments, and hung them on the stand. It turned out beautifully! Thanks for all the wonderful gift ideas each day.. and for helping me think about ideas I had forgotten about during this busy time of year! I look forward to every days' post!
Love this idea--makes a wonderful personalized gift for those special gifts I like to give. Great video.
I adore giving calendars for Christmas gifts, this is such a clever idea since they can use the holder for jewelry after! Really Cool!!! Thank you!!
as you said, just looking at this photo, i got too many different ideas for different things, even on wooden stand!! Now i got so many ideas and don't know where to start, for this holiday gifts. ! LOL! Thank you for another great idea! I can't wait for tomorrow! :-)
