♥ Free Printables- Calendar + Wall art ♥

Free Printables
( calendar + wall art )

Lately (as in since I could use a crayon) I've been loving making things for my bedroom walls. I print things for them aaallll the time, but here are some graphic-ishy things that I created recently that I thought I'd share with you guys!

The first is a calendar!
 I made it in a few colors for you guys to choose from and here they are: 

Click here to download the green, pink and blue calendar
Click here to download the blue, purple and yellow calendar


And here are two other versions:



Click here to download the all pink calendar
Click here to download the pink, and blue-ish calendar

Oh, and the "Just Pepperminty" Watermarks will be gone if you print, but please don't take credit for them:)

Next, I did a little wall print of a lovely quote from Walt Disney(which you've probably heard from Meet the Robinsons)
Again, there's four different ones to pick from:


Click here to download the blue print
Click here to download the dark pink print

And the other two:


Click here to download the light pink print
Click here to download the purple print
The "Just Pepperminty" mark will be gone when printed, like I explained above!

Sooo, that's all I've got for today! If any of you like these I'll make more prints etc. in the future! Just let me know. I'd love to hear your ideas as well!

I think I'll have a DIY coming soon! And I might do a 'favorites'/'currently' post, because I haven't done one yet!
Talk to you guys later!

Stay minty,

Super Simple DIY: Fabric covered storage

Storage from a Tin
Hey guys! So today-as you can see from the title- I have a very simple DIY for you!
They may be simple but they're SO helpful :)
I saw something slightly similar on Pinterest, but it wasn't fabric covered, just labeled, so I thought I'd try my own twist on them! Plus the idea had been brewing in my head for quite sometime hehe.


A couple of things I use mine for, is holding sewing supplies, -like buttons and thread- And my headphones-I don't know about you guys, but I alwaaays lost my headphones. This is a great place to keep them so you always know where to find them! As long as you remember to put them in ;) 

But really, they're super simple, cute, AND helpful!

What you need:
Scraps of fabric
Altoid tins (or any tin you have/would like to use)
Mod podge (I'm not sure, but other glues/sealers may work!)
Scissors

Steps:
1.
Cut your fabric to cover the area of your tin- I cut mine a bit extra so that I could wrap the sides.
2.Apply a layer of mod podge on the top of the tin with a paint brush and carefully place down your fabric. Make sure you've placed it correctly and smoothed out any air bubbles!
3.Mod podge the sides and press them smooth as well. Repeat this on the inside corners if you still have excess fabric.
4.Once those things dry, you can put another coat of mod podge on the outside to make the fabric less likely to come up after time. 
 
Now you're done! So easy.

If yours are a bit like mine the tins got a little sticky opening up. This is because the fabric made the top thicker(if you folded under). I solved that problem by pressing an indent into the front and middle with my thumb- as you can see if you look closely in the photos-, and they're good as new now. 


   A little tip:
 Do you ever have to spend a lot of time going through your loads of buttons trying to find the right color or  size? You can keep them better organized by stacking them up on a large safety pin like you see below! 


I made these really quickly and it was pretty fun too! There are so many different uses for them, especially because you can do this with pretty much any tin/container that you have!
Of course, I have loads of these Altoid tins because I go through mints like water. They're so amazingly strong and pepperminty!! ;)

Are any of you guys gonna make these? What would you store in them?
Well, I hope you found this helpful:)
Talk to you next time!

P.S. I also have a trick for tangle-free headphone cords! If anyone's interested I'd be happy to do a post on how to make them! :)P.P.S I'm going to try and post more regularly, I just can't seem to get the hang of a schedule haha.

Stay minty,

100 Journal Ideas

100 ideas (for use with a journal)

Heeelllo everybody! 
Awhile ago I was on Keri Smith's website. You might know her as the author of the Wreck This Journal series. Lots of other amazing books as well! Anyway, while I was browsing I came across her
100 Ideas (for use with a journal) post... thingy!

It really inspired me to start journaling again, because I'm horrible at keeping up with journals, diaries, etc. I always want to- I've had them off and on since I was just a little kid!

But this post has these really amazing ideas for you to use, a few of my favorites being: 

Write a letter to yourself in the future.

List all of the places you've ever lived. (That's a LOAD for me)

Create a character based on someone you know. Write a list of personality traits.

List the smells in your neighborhood.

Put a small object in your left pocket (or in a bag), put your left hand in the pocket. Draw it by feel.

Illustrate the concept of 'simplicity'

I just love the ideas soooo much- I just had to share! You can view the whole list here
I think that I might share some pages(i.e when I draw things) I do if I find any of them to come out interestingly enough, or just need a post idea, haha. 

So what do you guys think of the list, are you gonna try it out with me? 
It'd be cool if someone else joined me!

P.S. You can pin my pictures now! Just roll over and click the pin button:)
P.P.S Thanks Anna!


Well, until next time, 

Stay minty,
