Make and Design a 2023 calendar

You will need:

  • colour printer
  • scissors or paper trimmer or craft knife
  • glue or double- sided tape
  • stapler (or you can stitch your calendar pages together)
  • hole punch
  • embellishments
  1. Print the pdf and cut out the 8 calendar pages.
  2. Note that each page is marked A, B, C, D, E, F, G or H. There is a diagram of this on pages 3 and 4.
  3. Take the 2 pages marked A/ B, and stick them back to back. Make sure you line up the 2 ends of your paper marked A, and the 2 ends of your paper marked B.
  4. Repeat Step 3 with the pages marked C/ D, then the pages marked E/ F, and lastly the pages marked G/ H.
  5. You now have 4 double sided sheets. Score each sheet in the middle, between the 2 months.
  6. Layer and align the 4 sheets in the following order:
    • Bottom layer: Sheet A/B, with January 2023 and February 2024 facing up.
    • On top of this place Sheet C/D, with March 2023 and December 2023 facing up.
    • Then on top of the 2nd sheet place sheet E/ F, with May 2023 and October 2023 facing up.
    • For your top layer use sheet Sheet G/ H, with July 2023 and August 2023 facing up
  1. Next, bind your calendar using a stapler or by stitching your pages together.

STAPLER TIP: If you are using a desktop stapler, open the calendar to July/ August and lay your pages flat on top of a piece of foam/ a corkboard/ polystyrene under your calendar. Press on the stapler to release the staple. You will need to bend the arms of your staples to hold them in place.

  1. With the calendar open at July/ August, punch a hole in the top and bottom of all the sheets. There is a black dot to show you where to punch.
  2. Close your calendar and trim the edges to neaten.
  3. Now, the fun begins! Embellish your calendar to brighten up your fridge, workspace or to give as a gift (we’re thinking of those grandparents)
