A tutorial for a photo calendar, and we LOVED it! Calendars usually look pretty generic, and those that look special, are especially costly too!

We wanted it to be square, so we trimmed the length of the A4 paper down to its width.<\/p>\n<p>Tape or glue two pieces of paper together to make the cover. Do the same for another 2 pieces of paper to make the last page (December).<\/p>\n<p>Next, choose 12 of the photos you want to have in your calendar (and won&#8217;t get sick of seeing for an entire month heh)! Our suggestions are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>travel photos<\/li>\n<li>photos of you and your family\/friends\/lover<\/li>\n<li>photos of your pet(s)<\/li>\n<li>generic but pretty photos (ours were photos of flowers from <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">unsplash<\/a>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We printed them in the size of 6in x 6in, but photos of any size would be fine, as long as it fits your calendar base.<\/p>\n<p>Then, get your monthly calendar printed out (we got ours from <a href=\"http:\/\/shiningmom.com\/free-printable-2018-calendar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>!) and trim them to fit the base as well!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-attachment-id=\"4667\"
