🌟What’s Included
A 12 month calendar with festive designs for each month. This also includes a few alternate pages.
📌What You’ll Need
Paper – cardstock works the best.
Calendar binding machine – if you choose to make a lot of these, using a binder machine is the way to go so you don’t have to have them processed by a store. This package also includes 100 comb binding spines.
Paint or Ink Pad – whichever you choose to make the handprints.
*Optional – laminator – this is a great way to make the calendar more sturdy after adding the handprints. They also have self laminating sheets that are a little more expensive, but you don’t have to have the actual machine.
