I have been busy this weekend crafting a calendar for The Island room. I have a cork board in which I wanted to hang it from. So I made one for the remaining months of this year.
However, upon finishing it, I thought to myself, "why not make one for the next year, since I am already in the mood?" Well, said and done. I made one of those that you can change the page each month, but even though it is fully finished and functional, I am not sure it will hang well, because even though it is 1:12 scale, the paper is still 12 times too thick, and it looks a bit stiff:
Even though I love the design, it does not hang very well... |
Once you have finished glueing the pages together, you only have to glue them onto the base with the picture - you should glue the base onto a strong cardboard so it won't bulge, or you can print the base onto photo paper, which is stiffer.
You can hold it in place with double-sided tape or dollhouse wax. |
The theme is ballet, which I think will not look out of place in any dollhouse, but I have included an empty base in case you want to use your own picture.
Here is the free 2021 calendar. I used for the design the Print a Calendar site. You can make several types of life-size calendars for your needs, or you can have fun designing your own in Big Hugh Labs, even making a small calendar for a CD case! I am warning you, once you have tried their stuff you'll keep coming back for more!
Have fun making your own calendar! Feel free to share it, give it as a gift and pass the file onto anyone (links back are nice too), but please, do not sell your creations or the file.
