instructions:
calendar background:
- Print the calendar background pages on card stock. Set aside to dry completely.
- Place the cutting mat underneath the card stock. Using the X-ACTO knife, and the ruler as a guide, trim the white areas away from the background pages.
- Affix your photo in the center of the top of the calendar background page. Make sure the photo is correctly oriented.
- Place the background page with the photo face-down. Place the remaining background page face-down, aligning it with the bottom edge of the photo background page. Align the papers to create a single long piece 10 inches wide and 16 inches long. Apply tape to the joint and press firmly to secure.
calendar pages:
- Print the calendar page on inkjet paper. Set aside to dry completely.
- Place the cutting mat underneath the inkjet paper. Using the X-ACTO knife, and the ruler as a guide, trim the white areas away from the pages.
- Place the appropriate monthly sticker at the top of the calendar pages.
- Using a pen, write the corresponding days on the calendar.
- Use the stickers to remind you of appointments, meetings, practices, rehearsals and all the other events of your life.
- Attach the calendar month to the bottom background page with double-stick tape.
Tip: You may prefer to print all 12 months at once and have them bound. To do this, only strip the sides and bottoms from your calendar pages, leaving the white area at the top for binding. Decorate your pages and stack them in the correct order. You can then take them to your local copy shop and have them spiral bound.
calendar stickers:
- Print the calendar stickers on the white sticker paper. Set aside to dry completely.
- Using scissors, cut out the stickers to decorate your calendar.
