I’ve been making mini calendars for a few years now and they are always popular.
I think due to their size they are quite versatile…. whether you decide to mount them on a stand up frame or pop a magnet on the back to hang on a fridge, they are something everyone can use.
This year in keeping with the vintage/Victorian style of my designing, I have created a simple gold and vintage graphic on a white background, so that the calendar can be mounted on any coloured card.
There are many ways you can use this mini calendar: mount and hang with a cord of magnet, mount on a card stand, pop into a card wallet for your handbag, use in a junk journal etc.
Today I’m showing you the two ways I’ve used the mini 2019 calendar.
How to make a 2019 Mini Calendar
Materials
-
Printable mini 2019 calendar – DOWNLOAD MINI CALENDAR HERE
-
Scrapbooking card for mounting
-
Craft knife and metal ruler or trimmer
-
White glue or double sided tape
- Stapler.
Instructions
Calendar Desk Stand – Finished size: 10 cm x 13.5 cm
1. & 2. Trim calendar pieces to size. I allowed an extra 4 mm at the top of each monthly panel (this area will be stapled to the backboard).
3. Place all of your calendar pages in order with January at the front and December at the back and use a stapler to affix the calendars pages in place on the background page.
4. Cut a strip measuring 10 cm wide x 30 cm long from a piece of scrapbooking paper. On the longest edge score lines at 1cm, 13.5 cm, 26 cm and 28 cm.
5. Mount your calendar to the scrapbooking paper using either glue or double sided tape (Calendar can go on either of the long sections).
6. Fold along your score lines to form an accordion fold at the base and tape or glue the tabs together.
Now you have a perfect little desk calendar that folds flat to fit inside an envelope, making it a perfect token gift for a friend or colleague.
Alternatively, you could mount the 2019 Mini Calendar on a single piece of card and attach a magnet to the back to hand it on a fridge or noticeboard…. there are multiply possibilities for this quick and easy project.
Happy crafting!

Gracias por compartir. Está bellísimo. El del año pasado fue para llevar en la cartera, pero yo le coloqué un imán por detrás y lo mantengo cerca de mi escritorio. Así lo puedo consultar cada vez que lo necesite. Me ha sido de mucho utilidad y además, super lindo. Te deseo un feliz año nuevo. Con mucho cariño de una fan en Venezuela. Besos.
Kerryanne says
¡De nada! Disfrutar Ingrid 🙂

Kerryanne, this is beautiful!! I’ve been waiting to see what you would have as a mini calendar for 2019 and you haven’t disappointed!
Can’t wait to get this pirnted and sitting on my desk. 🙂
Kerryanne says
I’m thrilled that it didn’t disappoint Elizabeth. I went shabby/cottage last year, so thought we needed a bit of vintage this year.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas,
