Mini Calendar from Me and My Bucket

Here are the supplies you need ...

* 12 - vertical name badge holders
* 12 - patterned papers, 1 for each month
* 24 solid papers - 2 for each month,
* computer and printer
* glue stick
* metal ring binder clips
* ribbon scraps

And here is how to make them ...

1. Measure your tags and cut 1 solid piece and the pattern pieces accordingly. The other solid piece will be for the calendar, we will use that later.

2. Make a basic template: I made this little calendar using Word. Pay no attention to the S on Thursday- it printed fine but saved that... go figure!!! When you have your basic template, you can then copy it 12 times and type in the month and dates on each one. Then print, cut and glue each calendar to the top of the 12 pieces of paper you already glued together.

3. For the other side of the calendars, print up a paragraph of blank lines using Word and then print and cut them down to size. Glue one to the BACK of each calendar.

4. Tie coordinating ribbons to the binder ring, in between each month. This is a great use for all those ribbon scraps you have lying around!!! These little beauties are time consuming but are great for neighbor gifts, Visiting Teaching, "first day of school" teacher gifts, etc. They are small enough to fit in your purse or diaper bag, or even your desk!!!
