I had a blast making these desk calendars. They were so very simple. I started with a blank 4 x 4 coaster (I found a box of them on Ebay). After decorating, I simply attached a clothespin on the back side. There are several ways to make the actual calendar. One suggestion was to Google "mini desk calendars" for a template. I had more fun using Close To My Heart's My Acrylix "Moment in Time" stamp set. Although, I did find out that there isn't a special stamp for the shortened month of February. I made several for Christmas gifts this year and had a great time making them.
