All About Wall Calendar Holders

Turning calendars into art

No one questions that pictures hanging on a wall should go in picture frames. It's strange then that wall calendar frames and wall calendar holders aren't seen more often. Wall calendars make such distinct decorative items, and a wall calendar holder is a creative way to fully transform your wall calendar into a work of art. Here we explore all about wall calendar holders.

Wall mounted calendar holders

The decorative weakness of wall calendars is their edges. After hanging for several months, wall calendars have a tendency to fan out and slide away from the wall, warping the calendar spine and displaying numerous paper edges that distract from the images you find so attractive.

Wall mounted calendar holders are the solution. A wall calendar holder protects your calendar from damage by surrounding it with a sturdy decorative frame. Plus wood wall calendar holders in rustic and traditional designs are terrific for standard kitchen décor. Just slide the wall calendar into the frame and pull it back out at the end of every month. Most wall calendar holders forego glass or plastic covers, so you'll still be able to make notes for birthdays, anniversaries, and doctor's appointments.

Stand mounted calendar holders

Wall calendar frames needn't always be hung on a wall. A stand mounted wall calendar holder would fit perfectly on an end table or coffee table. If you're unable to find a stand mounted wall calendar holder that you like, you can even design your own. All you'll need is a regular wall mounted calendar holder and a thin and sturdy piece of wood that can act as a stand. Attach the wood piece to the back of your wall mounted calendar holder using properly sized nails or screws and you're all through.

A stand mounted wall calendar holder is also perfect for placing on a desk in your study or knitting room. Another design alternative is a wall calendar holder with a small clock inset at its peak. A quick glance will be enough to tell you both the date and time.

Wall calendar holder materials

Wood is the most popular choice of material for wall calendar holders. Wood wall calendar holders fit in nicely with Shaker, country, and traditional motifs.

Quilted wall calendar holder frames are also quite popular. You could even make your own and present them as gifts.

Plastic wall calendar frames are an inexpensive option for locations where a wood calendar holder might be damaged.
