Step 1
Print out your calendar pages and cut them in
equal pieces.
I printed mine out at redcastle. I set my
template to a 2 3/4" square and used Tahoma
Small Cap font. I cut the pages into 2 3/4"
squares.
Step 2
Line the pages up on top of each other, center
it over additional cardstock layers (I used a
3" black cardstock and 3 1/4" sponge Always
Artichoke cardstock squares.) and use your
paper piercer to add two holes on the top two
corners.
Step 3
Secure your calendar pages with brads to your
cardstock layers.

Step 4
Apply glue all over your chipboard coaster.
Step 5
Adhere one of your patterned paper pieces to
your coaster.
Step 6
Clip the corners of the patterned paper around
the coaster.

Step 7 (Optional)
Sand the edges of the paper with a sanding
block.
Step 8
Adhere patterned paper to the second coaster
as well as to the back side of both coasters.
Step 9
Punch binding holes in both coasters with your
Binding Machine.
Alternative:
You can also use a Crop-a-dile to make the
holes. 4/25/13 Splitcoaststampers - Chipboard Calendar Project Tutorial by Beate Johns

Step 10
Insert wire through binding holes and close it.
Alternative:
Use ribbon or binding rings to connect the
coasters together.
Step 11
Tape the calendar to one side, decorate the
other page with a stamped image or photo.

Use only one coaster and add magnets to the back to make a calendar to put on the fridge.
Use one coaster for each month and bind them together with bigger wire.
You can buy preprinted calendars at vippies.
