Checkmate to deadline chaos! This colorful wall calendar with 52 squares (one for each week) arranged in a chessboard pattern brings fresh color to the room and more structure to everyday life. Thanks to the base coat of ferric paint, everyday items such as notes, photos, invitations or post cards can be attached to the calendar magnetically. You can enter important personal events such as your birthday, wedding anniversary, etc. – as well as the appropriate calendar week – into the 52 squares using chalk. This means that you have an overview and a reminder of everything. DIY enthusiasts can easily create the smart chessboard for the wall using the right measuring tool, the correct paint and a touch of flair.

COLORFUL AND ORGANIZED: WALL CALENDAR MEETS CHESSBOARD
LIST OF MATERIALS
24 mm masking tape, to stop the color from running
Pencil
Tools Bosch Quigo Plus cross line laser Includes tripod and target plate
Color Ferric paint (e.g. light gray, 1 liter) for the prime coat on the wall
Paint for the panels, four different colors of your choice (approx. 250 milliliters of each color)
Painting kit (comprising paint tray, 5 cm foam roller and paint roller handle)
Height approx. 160 cm/ Width approx. 90 cm
STEP 1
Note: Before you can begin painting the 52 squares, you must paint the wall with magnetic ferric paint one day ahead (24 hours drying time).
Firstly, attach the Bosch Quigo Plus cross line laser to the tripod to ensure that all the squares are the same size. Align the center of the laser cross at a height of approximately 90 cm and move the Quigo Plus away from the wall until the marks are 12 cm apart. To check that the spacing really is exactly the same, hold the target plate against the wall. If the vertical laser line runs perfectly through the red strips on the target plate, the Quigo Plus is exactly perpendicular to the wall.
One vertical and one horizontal strip of tape perpendicular to one another in a cross shape form the starting point for the chessboard pattern. Simply stick one 90 cm long horizontal strip and one at least 130 cm long vertical strip along the laser cross.

STEP 4
Now you can stick the rest of the template to the wall by turning the Quigo Plus and aligning the vertical laser line over the pencil marks drawn on the horizontal strip of tape to create perfectly straight lines. Stick the six vertical strips of tape one-by-one along the laser line. Then repeat this step for the nine horizontal strips of tape, adjusting the height of the Quigo Plus using the crank on the tripod to the relevant height for each strip.
Once the template is complete, you can use the paint roller to paint the squares alternate colors as you wish.
It is best to remove the masking tape while the paint is still slightly wet. Then your smart chessboard will be complete. Once you have written the calendar weeks into the squares with calk and pinned important notes to the wall with magnets, your new wall accessory is not simply decorative, but also extremely practical. This calendar is a really clever move.
STEP 5 STEP 6STEP 3
Now you can mark out the squares for each week by using a pencil to transfer the marks of the horizontal laser line of the Quigo Plus onto the tape, i.e. – starting from the center of the cross – three dashes to the right and three to the left. Repeat this step for the vertical laser lines – four dashes up to the top and five down to the bottom.
