Step 1
Print the calendar pages onto card stock and cut out each month. I like to use a paper cutter to get straight edges, but scissors will workFun Printable Coloring Book Calendar For 2014 (all you need is a little washi tape!)

Step 2
Starting with January and February, lay the cards for two months next to each other, leaving a tiny gap of about a 1/16 inch. Use Washi tape to join the pieces together. Repeat this process until all the cards are connected.

Step 3
Flip the calendar over and add tape to the backs of the seams. This will help create little hinges so you can display the calendar.

Step 4
Fold your calendar like an accordion, creasing the seams to reinforce the folds. Stand your calendar up along a desk or countertop, or fold so that past or future months are tucked behind the present one.

Instead of making a stand-up calendar, you can punch a hole in the top of each card (a Crop-A-Dile will punch them all at one time!), then tie a loop of baker’s twine through for hanging!
