This week we will show you how to make an easy desk calendar. It's quick and easy enough that you could make a few and put them in your "gifting stash".
Supplies
1 piece of cardstock cut into three 4" wide strips
12 pcs patterned paper or cardstock @ 2 7/8 x 3 7/8 for month pages
2 pcs of patterned paper for the front and back cover of the book @ 2 7/8 x 3 7/8 (if you choose to make it book style)
12" narrow ribbon Various embellishments of choice
12 mats to fit your calendar Calendar (business card size)
1- 12 x 12 cardstock
Cut into three pieces 12 x 4 each
Score each strip at 3", 6", 9"

Glue one strip to the other as shown at the left to begin to form the pages
Continue in this way until all pages are made.
I didn't glue all pages together, but left an opening so that it formed a book shape. You could choose to
simply glue all sides to make complete star shape.
If you are making into book form, then proceed with the following
Glue ribbon onto one side of the front and back pages and then glue covers over the ribbon.
I added a small non month related calendar to front as an embellishment.
Here you see how I embellished all the monthly pages.
Once all your pages are decorated and embellished to your liking, your calendar will look like this.
Looking down from the top, you can see where my calendar is tied at one side to hold it closed.
Here you see it standing on the desk in the open position. The tie and opening are at the back.
Hope you have fun making this desk calendar.
