Dear Friends,
How time flies! It's already mid May.
As you know, I love to do handicrafts and make homemade gifts. You probably have seen my homemade bookmarks blog with Free Bookmark Templates.
Around December of almost every year, I will make a simple homemade gift for my friends and it is a Homemade Calendar.
I first started making this Calendar for myself because I found it very difficult to find a Christian Calendar with Bible verses that I like. So I decided to design my own simple Calendar :-)
Subsequently, I began to make this Calender for some of my friends whenever possible.
Over the last few years, I began to make the Calendar for more and more of my friends.
It is good to know that some of my friends have found this Calendar useful.
Thank God that for the last 8 years, I managed to make between 80 to 100 Calendars for my church friends, whenever I am well.
Sometimes when I am too ill, I will not be able to make these Calendars. Otherwise, I will try my best to make them. I enjoy making them and I am thankful that they are useful to my friends.
This is how the simple Calendar looks like:
Although it's already May now, if you are interested, you can still make this simple Calendar for yourself or your friends.
Here are some simple instructions on how I make this Calendar :
You can download the following files and make it too. You can personalised this simple Calendar by putting your name or your friend's name on the top right hand corner. You can also change the picture and the text according to your liking.
1) Download these Microsoft Word documents (.doc) and make changes accordingly:
a) Use this Picture file if you are printing for a friend : Picture 1person
b) Use this Picture file if you are printing for a couple: Picture 2persons
c) Use this Date file if you are in Singapore as it has all the public holidays : Singapore Dates
d) Use this Date file if the Calendar is to be used outside of Singapore: Dates Others
2. Open the file "Picture 1person.doc" and change the name on the top right hand corner to reflect your name, your friend's name, etc. Then print on color cards/papers.
You can print 2 calendars on 1 paper.
3. Open the file "Dates Singapore.doc" or "Dates Others.doc" and print all the 3 pages.
4. Fold the pages into half.
5. Use a pen knife to cut and then fold the pages into half again.
6. Use the pen knife to cut again and arrange all the months accordingly.
7. Staple on top of the dates at a few places to keep them together.
8. Put double-sided scotch tape behind the dates and then stick it to the bottom of the Picture.
9. For hanging purposes, I usually punch a hole using a single-hole puncher and put a reinforcement ring on it.
Do you like this Calendar? Do you have Hobbies? Or do you like to make gifts for your family and friends.
I hope you enjoy making this simple Calendar :-)
