How you sometimes want to make a gift just like that, from the heart with your own hands. One of the options for such a gift is a loose-leaf calendar. He will not only delight your family, but also help you know exactly what date is today. Of course, in order to save time, you can go, for example, to a photo studio and order a calendar there, but this implies additional costs. A hand-made calendar will tell the future owner about your care and tenderness.
It is necessary
Thick cardboard for the base and thin for the sheets themselves, 13 photos, glue, a simple calendar, a stitching spring and decorations of your choice
Instructions
Step 1
Make a base. In shape, it should resemble a pyramid and make it easy for the sheets of the future calendar to be thrown over. The optimal height is 14-15 cm, width is 19-20 cm (for standard photographs 10x15). The part of the base that is the support must be flat and firmly on the table surface. If desired, you can decorate it, or, for example, glue it over with beautiful self-adhesive paper or stylish wrapping paper.
Step 2
Design the sheets of the future calendar. To do this, the size of the sheets is adjusted to the size of the base (slightly smaller). On each sheet, glue a photo and a cut out month from the calendar. The sheets can also be decorated, their appearance is the result of your imagination. Fold the sheets in the correct order.
Step 3
The last moment in creating such an original gift is to attach the sheets to the base. This is done with a stitching spring. It is necessary to fasten the pages so that later they can freely flip through on the base. The calendar is ready. Appreciate his appearance and decorate as needed.
