The clothespins make it easy to customize this calendar! You can transform the daily calendar to one that counts the weeks by substituting the labels.

I love the space-saving dual purpose of my new crafty peg board! (Now my most-used tools are really at my fingertips!)

Even though this peg-board project jumped out of the box from Canvas Corp, there  are lots of other projects just waiting for me...very exciting!

Thread the ribbon through a large-eye needle—that way, it will be easy to weave the ribbon in and out of the peg-board holes.

You could also use a bodkin to weave the ribbon through.

Tie a square knot at the end of the ribbon and thread the ribbon through the first hole from the right side. (You could do this from the back if you don't want your knot to show.) Come up in the next hole. To make a narrow loop, go back through in the next hole. If you want a larger hoop, skip a hole. 

I wanted to create some space between my loops, so I skipped a hole between them. You can skip more than one hole if you want more space to hang larger notes or pictures.

Using heavy ribbon will make it easy to keep the loops uniform in size as you "stitch" across the peg board.

When you get to the end of the row, cut up to the front and tie another square knot to secure the loops. Skip as many rows as you like and weave another row of loops (lined up under the first ones).

If you have a square ruler, you can quickly see the best way to crop your photo into a square.

After you've made your loop "calendar," use some colorful paper to make labels for the days of the week. Attach them with clothespins to attach them along the top row. Now you're ready to get organized—add notes to remind you about appointments or events. 

Then, I put metal hooks on the other side to organize my tools.

Customize your peg board to fit your creative needs. I'm excited that I'll never misplace my large rotary cutter or inch bias tape maker again!

Can't wait to do this and clean up the clutter around the house and searching for lost notes . Have a spot on the wall and don't feel like painting just yet , what a great cover up . Using colored paper to idenify different things also . Wow can think of hundreds of uses for this . Winter is coming and this is a great project to work on . Then again why wait for winter .
This can be done on the next rainy day .
