![]() ![]() I have these available as a PDF file as well as a JPEG. Sometimes I have to click on “fit to frame” when printing on my printer for some of the other sizes. ![]() If you’re printing the version with the 2017 banner, just make sure that you don’t have any of it cut off. If you’re printing as a 3.5×5 you should be able to fit 4 months per page. I printed my calendar as a 3.5×5 printable for a sweet, little desk calendar, but you can print and cut them to any size you would like. You might even want to make multiple copies. Clip the pages to a mini-clipboard, pin them up with a decorated bulldog clip or laundry peg, or display them in a photo frame. I like to display my calendar on my desk in a sliced piece of wood, but there are so many creative ways that you could use it. These work great as a fun little gift idea. I know there are lots of international readers as well so hopefully one of those will work for you too! I did one for my fellow Canadians and one for my US friends. You’ll also notice that there are two prints for the month of July. There are two versions available for you to choose from – one with the 2017 banner on the top and one without. The design is pretty much the same as last year – just updated for 2017. But, here it is – hopefully error free! □ I seem to be having holiday brain lately and I kept noticing typos in the calendar that I had to go back in and edit. I know many of you were waiting for the new one to create some cute, little Christmas gifts. I’ve enjoyed hearing about all the ways you put together and used last year’s calendar. I’ve had so many emails asking if I would be putting out an updated printable 2017 calendar this year, so here it is! If your desk stands by the wall or you want to put your calendar on a kitchen shelf, a clipboard will look awsome.EDIT: FIND THE 2018 PRINTABLE CALENDAR HERE. On the other hand, there are a lot of other creative ways you can use to hang pictures on the wall: if you use a paper clip you will not have to puncture your artwork, but if you don’t mind the hole, strings can also function as stylish hangers. Ask for metal sprial though, the plastic one might be cheaper, but looks crappy. Spiral-binding is an obvious choice, which any print shop will do for you. When you are done decorating, all you need to do is put your masterpiece on display. It looks nice on photos when all 12 months have similar/matching designs but if that doesn’t work out, do not despair! You will see only one month at a time anyway. When you are done with printing, it is time to unleash your imagination and decorate your calendar. Try to avoid the simplest copy-paper though (80 g/m2), otherwise the result might end up low-quality. However, if you want to use a marker pen or make a collage, you can go for a simple 180-200 g/m2 paper, which your home printer should have no trouble with. Don’t choose a paper that’s too thick, as even grand print machines can have problems with those (don’t choose anything over 200 g/m2). So in this case the best thing to do is run along to the nearest print shop and ask them to print your document on the watercolour paper you have brought along. If you want to paint, for instance, you should choose watercolour paper, which some printers have difficulty with. Decide in advance what kind of technique you are going to use as it affects your choice of paper. There are two versions of this template in the package, one with the names of the months and one without – so if you feel like you can use calligraphy to paint ‘March’. The template is in A4 format, which leaves you a little more than half of the paper to explore your creativity but of course you can print it in A3 or A5 size if you have different ideas. I’ve created a very minimal-style 2017 calendar template that you can download from the content library ( sign up to reach the content library. Image sources: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 It’s your turn now! I have therefore made this collection purely for inspiration, so if you are out of ideas just now, you can still start creating right away. Naturally you can download some amazing new calendars for 2017 but that’s not exactly the same as something you do yourself. However, just because I don’t create a new calendar, there is no reason why you shouldn’t – actually it might even feel good during this busy season to draw/paint in solitude for a couple of hours. I liked to do them and you guys liked them too, but next year will bring change and I will not continue with this series. I must admit I was a little sad when I posted the last downloadable wallpaper calendar on the blog. ![]()
