Original and quickly crafted: a very special calendar

At the end of the year, calendars are not only a wonderful gift – but also one with a long date of expiry. Instead of a photo calendar, beautiful calendar pages can also be created from individual picture motifs – and very originally presented using the lever of a discarded ring binder. Here you can read how effective and fast this is.

Now, at the top part of the vertically arranged wooden board, mark the point at which you would like to attach the metal lever mechanism. Because the mechanism has two holes, the book insert can be screwed in particularly well – and is thus extremely robust for when the calendar pages are being turned month after month. It is best to first fix the two screws at the intended points with a hammer; then they can be twisted in especially easy.

Now screw the screws into the pre-hammered holes in the plywood – in no time the lever mechanism of a ring binder is fastened on the board.

Now hole-punch the 12 calendar pages above the photo area, so that you can fasten the pictures in the lever mechanism in the correct sequence.

Now all that is needed is a movement of the lever – and the original calendar is complete. It not only offers an out-of-the-ordinary form of presentation for picturesque mementos, but can also be practically updated month after month. A perfect gift with long-term effect, created with a flick of the wrist.
