Step 3: frame the calendar Take out a rectangle paperboard; wrap it with a piece of cotton fabric; stick the four angles with double-sided tape. Put the wrapped paperboard to a wood frame; draw small squares averagely on the fabric.
Step 2: make the month Cut strips of paper; write the month on the paper; cut strips of felt larger than the paper; glue the paper on the felt piece. Sew apparent lines around the four edges of the paper; sew the edges of the felt with zigzag stitch.
