Why Use PowerTac for Acrylic & Magnet Projects?
A Reusable Calendar You’ll Love All Year

Begin by cutting white acrylic tiles to size. Before assembling, remove the protective paper from each tile to ensure proper adhesion and a clean finish.

Print the free calendar printable (YOU CAN FIND IT HERE) and cut the numbers into strips using a paper cutter. Use scissors to trim and refine the edges as needed.

Use a corner punch to round each calendar number. This small detail helps the numbers fit the acrylic tiles nicely and gives the finished calendar a polished look.

If you’re using sticker paper, simply adhere each number to the front of the acrylic tiles. Sticker paper makes this step quick and easy with no additional adhesive required.

Flip each acrylic tile over and apply a small dot of PowerTac to the back. Press a magnet into the adhesive and repeat for all tiles.

Allow the adhesive to dry completely. Once dry, place the tiles onto a magnet board to create a colorful, reusable magnetic calendar you can update every month.

PowerTac is ideal for small-scale craft projects like this because it creates a strong, dependable bond while allowing precise application. It works especially well when attaching magnets to acrylic surfaces, making it a go-to adhesive for functional DIY projects.

These acrylic magnetic calendar tiles are not only fun to make but also practical and reusable. Swap them out each month and enjoy a handmade calendar that adds color and creativity to your space year-round.
