To help ring in the new year, I made a shadowbox calendar.

It looks rad + it’s super functional. You can put it on your desk, mount it on your wall, or put it pretty much wherever you want. Since it’s a box, it serves as its own storage and keeps the calendar pages from getting lost.

Materials

Shadowbox / Calendar Template
Scissors / Xacto Knife
Black and Copper Paint
Rubber Cement
Tape

Step One

Print the template front and back on cardstock.

Step Two

Cut out the box template along the solid lines (don’t forget the tabs!); and fold along the dotted lines.

Step Three

With rubber cement, glue the flaps + tabs to create your box. Use tape to help keep the flaps from popping up while the cement dries (use tape that won’t rip your paper).
