Why make a calendar at home
Mark the dates that matter, such as birthdays, anniversaries and the first day of school, and they appear on the right day every month. Start in January, or start the month of a birthday, a new job or a new home; the calendar can run across two years.
A binder clip with its wire handles folded back makes a stand in seconds. A photo calendar of last year's best moments is one of the easiest presents to make for grandparents, and it gets looked at every day.
Dates done for you
Month names, weekdays and dates are generated from your start month and year. Weeks can start on Monday or Sunday.
Special dates marked
Add birthdays and anniversaries once and they are circled on every year the calendar covers.
A photo a month
Photo beside the dates, photo above, or two photos for the busy months.
Three sheets, twelve cards
Four A6 months per sheet, printed on one side and cut on the tick marks.
A few folds from finished
3 steps, printed on one side. The full instruction sheet with checks and a common-mistakes box comes with your PDF.

Calendar questions
Can I make a 2027 calendar now?
Yes. Choose any start month and year in the Calendar panel; the twelve months follow from there.
How do I make the calendar stand up?
Clip the top edge of the stack with a binder clip and fold its two wire handles back as legs, or punch two holes and add a ring and a small easel.
What size is each month?
148 × 105 mm (A6 landscape) from A4 paper and 5.5 × 4.25 in from US Letter.
What paper should I use?
200 to 300 gsm card so the months stay flat. It prints on one side only, so matte or satin photo card works.
