With the start of the new year it’s time to create a new desktop calendar. I’ve been making this style of calendar for many years. But this is the first year that I show you how to make it on a live video! Last Monday I did a Facebook Live video that showed how I made the calendar and how it works. You can see it here ===> https://www.facebook.com/AtMonikasPlace/videos/2975092499176998/
Below you will find photos, measurements, and a link to download the calendar strips. Let me know if you make one. In addition to the calendar I created 4 note cards that match each seasonal panel. These use the same elements as the calendar – come back tomorrow to see those.
Basic Measurements:
- Calendar Base: Basic Black card stock – 7-1/2” x 8-1/2”, score at 4-1/4” (on the long side)
- Stand: Basic Black card stock – 3-1/2” x 4-1/4”, score at 1-1/2”, 2-3/4” (on long side)
