COVERS – Choose 2 coordinating cardstocks, ribbons, chipboard letters to spell ‘Family’ or choice of words. Trim cardstock to fit the cover, adhere papers to the cover decorate with ribbons, and chipboard letters. Optional: You can also use the flower punch to create embellishment for the cover.

INSIDE PAGES – Choose 12 to 14 papers for each month. Trim papers to fit the top of each page adhere paper in place. Re-punch the calendar holes (for hanging) with a 1/8in round punch. Glue the month title above the calendar grids. Use the 1/4in round punch to punch out the numbers for each day. Tips: punch out one week of numbers at a time to avoid mixing up numbers. Glue the punched out numbers using the glue pen. Using a ruler, align the numbers on the calendar grid.
