crochet with yarn
Here’s a crochet tear-off daily calendar that’s perfect for anyone who loves knitting or crafts! Its pop style and warmth will make the moment you flip each day feel soothing and heartwarming.
You’ll crochet the yarn into card-like pieces.
Since it’s a daily calendar, it may take several days to complete, but give it your best shot! Just changing the color scheme of the background and numbers can completely transform the look, so designing it is part of the fun! Adding hooks to a corkboard to keep it in place is stylish, too.
Plus, embellishing with small items like flowers or stars makes it even more festive.
Original brush lettering
Loose, brush-style lettering is heartwarming just to look at, so it’s great for calendar designs! If you use a plain calendar template, even beginners can create one easily.
Write one page a day and you’ll finish in a month! For writing, store-bought brush pens are easy to try and highly recommended.
Brush lettering shows your personality, so don’t be afraid—write boldly however you like.
Let your favorite words, poems, tanka, or haiku flow, and create a one-of-a-kind daily tear-off calendar full of originality!
clip-on
Why not repurpose a candy box lid to make a clip-style tear-off calendar? Candy boxes often have stylish designs, so this is a great craft for those who can’t bear to throw them away! You can use the inside pattern of the box as is, or glue on your favorite patterned wrapping paper.
Attach three wooden clips to the box with a hot glue gun.
Next, cut paper in patterns you like and make separate cards for the month, date, and day of the week.
Clip the cards in place and you’re done! We also recommend making a pocket on the back of the box to store the date cards.
LEGO-style calendar
Lego bricks are loved by enthusiasts of all ages, from children to adults.
Why not try making a daily tear-off calendar with Legos that’s fun to build and stylish to display? It seems there are Lego kits with calendar designs, so buying one might be the quickest option! If you’re into Lego, it’s great to quietly build it on your own, and it’s also recommended to make it together with your child.
You’ll likely feel it was worth the effort to create something yourself.
Its cute cube shape looks great too, so it would make a lovely display in your room!
milk carton
A perpetual calendar is appealing because once you make it, you can use it forever.
Amazingly, you can make one by reusing milk cartons! It’s perfect for a craft project with children, so why not try making it together with family or teachers? Cut the milk cartons and make four square boxes.
It’ll look cute if you decorate each one by attaching construction paper or similar materials.
Create month, date, and day-of-the-week cards from construction paper and attach them to the boxes, and you’re done! Turning them every day might even help with learning the days of the week.
A simple tear-off daily calendar with drawing paper and a ring
Recommended for crafting with your kids! Here’s a tear-off daily calendar you can make with just construction paper and a ring.
Cut construction paper in various colors and write the month and date numbers with crayons or colored pencils.
Since you’ll make lots of cards, it’s nice to create them together with family members or teachers.
Punch a hole in each card, thread them onto a ring, and you’re done! You can also fix it onto cardboard and enjoy it as a wall decoration.
Flip through the calendar with the children and share the excitement!

Stylish interior-style calendar
How about making a sophisticated calendar that won’t disrupt your room’s interior? The base is a wooden board with holes, also known as a pegboard.
Choose a board with colors and wood grain that match your home’s furniture.
Then attach hooks into the holes and hang papers labeled with the months and dates.
Since this can look a bit simple, you might also decorate it by inserting artificial flowers into the holes.
Pick colors that suit your room for those as well.
