Newspaper Cutout

It might be a little old school, but many newspapers around the country allow you to cut out a bracket and fill it in as you go along. Thousands of people surely have taped newspaper cutouts to their bedroom doors, watching the color fade as the month goes by.

Printed Brackets

As newspaper popularity has waned, the Internet has given way to easier access to print dozens and dozens of brackets. Just try not to get too crazy and run your printer out of ink.
