Did 2015 sneak up on you like it did for me? Well, If you didn’t get a chance to get a new calendar then you’re in luck! This cute & simple 12 month printable set comes with it’s own polka-dot stand. It’s the perfect size for your desk or any small area so you don’t forget, it’s really 2015!!
Materials: Printable 2015 Calendar, 9 pieces of 8.5 x 11 card stock (I used Epson Ultra Premium Matte Presentation Paper), ruler, craft knife, glue, bone folder
Step 1: Print out the Printable 2015 Calendar on 8.5 x 11 card stock.
Step 2: With the bone folder, score all indicated fold lines on the polka-dot calendar stand (first 3 pages).
Step 3: Cut out the calendar stand (there will be 4 pieces) and the calendar. Set calendar aside.
Step 4: Fold all of the scored lines on of the calendar stand using the bone folder.
Step 5: Place glue on the back side of the last panel on the front piece (page 1) and roll inward to create a box shape (see photo for detail). Let the glue dry. You can use double sided tape for this part too if the glue does not hold well.
Step 6: Place the front panel on top of the bottom & back panel and glue only the bottom in place (this is where the box from the front panel meets the overlap of the bottom & back panel). Allow glue to dry.
Step 7: Place glue on all of the folded flaps of the triangle shaped sides. Place the two sides in place before securing the back side (see photo for detail). Allow glue to dry.
Step 8: Finally glue down the top flap (on the front side) and your stand is assembled. Put the calendar that you previously cut out on the stand and watch the months fly by.
Happy 2015!

Has any one actually printed successfully? Have printed thrice and cannot get the first page or some of the non-polka-dot months to print. Tips? Is there any setting that needs to be adjusted for my printer? Thanks!
