Make the Number Blocks

Paint the Calendar

Decorate all the pieces using Fevicryl Acrylic Markers. Allow each colour to dry before adding another shade for a neat finish.

Write the numbers on the cubes and the month names on the rectangular strips using a black marker. Arrange the blocks inside the stand. Your reusable DIY desk calendar is now ready to display!
