Materials

13 sheets of heavy 8.5 x 11-inch double-sided paper

Ribbon, raffia, yarn, stapler, or brads

Hole punch

Important note: Each month is made with two pages: one for your image (artwork page) and one for the month with dates (calendar page). You will need to save each month as an individual PDF file. There are also optional cover and back pages to be saved as an individual PDF file.

If you want to print a two-sided wall calendar (recommended), you will need to print the cover first with the month of January’s artwork page on the back side. The January calendar page is printed on the front side of the next sheet of paper, and the February artwork page is printed on the back of that page, and so on through the rest of the months. Each page needs to be printed from two files. See Table 1 below for printing sequence.

You can also print the calendar so that both the artwork and the calendar for an individual month are on a single sheet of paper – see alternative instructions below.
