Something for Everyone!

The Craftic Planner is detailed enough to manage inventory, deadlines, and more for a crafting business like mine. But it’s also totally customizable, and perfect for hobby crafters as well! Whatever your needs, this planner can help you organize your crafting.

As many of you know, I’m not a “paper” person. I prefer to manage everything digitally, and don’t really use a printable planner. But I know a lot of you do like printable planners, and this one has some neat features. There are a few pages I would happily use on their own, to help manage my projects.

Fully Customizable Planning

The best part of this planner is that you can pick and choose which pages work for you. Need more notes? Print more note pages. Need separate calendars for separate purposes? Use as many as you like. Organize your crafting, holidays, gift giving, and your whole calendar!

This planner is a great tool to keep track of long term projects, such as make-along events. Try it with the Fridgies CAL or Mosaic Sampler Blanket MKAL for the rest of this year!

You also don’t have to print everything at once. Start with what you need for this week, or this month, and then print more when you run out. The pages aren’t labeled for a specific year. This means you can start at any time of year that you like, and use them over and over again.

The planner is available in 3 separate bundle options depending on which pages you need. You can even buy individual pages! I received the “full” bundle for this review. See all the options in the Craftic Etsy Shop.

Getting Started with the Craftic Planner

In addition to the planner pages, the package also includes a complete guide, and helpful printing tips!

The Craftic Planner Guide

The guide starts with tips on using combinations of pages for monthly, weekly, and daily planning. Then it goes into a detailed description of each of the 18 types of pages.

Craftic Planner instructions and guide

The pages are all black and white, so they’re easy to print. Adding color is half the fun of using the planner!

Print and Cut Instructions

These helpful instructions start off with recommended materials and tools. They do recommend thicker paper than I had on hand, and I agree that would be a good idea. There are also links where you can purchase all the recommended materials! I love the first of the recommended ring binder options.

Then there are very detailed instructions (with screenshots) of how best to print the pages. Finally, there are instructions for trimming and punching the pages to fit an A5 size binder.

You can also just use the sheets without trimming, and store them in a folder or full-size binder. I did not trim my pages, so you will see the crop marks in my photos. These marks are guides to help with trimming.

Planner Pages

Organize your calendar

For general overview and planning, use the yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily calendar pages. Organize your whole year, or keep track of special occasions across a 4-page spread with the yearly calendar.

The monthly calendar pages give you more room for each day, with added space for notes. I love that there are two options for this calendar. You can choose whether you want your weeks to start on Sunday or on Monday!

The weekly calendar pages have two options as well. You can organize your days in a list form, with the days displayed horizontally. Or, you can organize them in a calendar form, with the days displayed vertically.

Finally, there are the daily pages. Here you have loads of space to write detailed notes for each day. With just these yearly, monthly, weekly, and daily pages, you can put together a fully customizable, traditional planner!

Organize Your Crafting

Need to finish a project by a certain deadline? Want to make sure you don’t run out of materials half way through? The planner has you covered with a variety of project-specific pages. There’s a “to make” list, to jot down ideas for future projects. Then, use the detailed project planning pages for project details, notes, sketches, and more. Finally, there’s a project time estimator, to help you stay on schedule.

Oragnize your Inventory

Do you know what craft supplies you have on hand? Use the stash/inventory pages to keep track. There are also pages to list your favorite shops and sites, so you know where to go when you need something. The wishlist page can help tame those impulse purchases.

Organize your holidays

There’s a day for everything, but I feel like I always find out about it the day after. The crafting holiday calendar page can help, with a list of all the special craft-related days. Never miss “knit & crochet in public day” again!

The planner currently comes with the holiday list for 2021. Craftic tells me they are planning to send all buyers an updated, 2022 holiday calendar for next year!

You can organize your gift-giving needs as well, with the Gifts and Cards page. Keep track of upcoming birthdays, graduations, and other events, along with any gifts or cards you plan to make.

Get creative
