**Here's what you do:**

Note: Month titles are available in color or black and white; monthly calendars are also available in black and white with the month titles included.
2. Mount the calendar onto patterned paper using Ultra-Thin Glue Dots. Think about coordinating by season and theme!
3. Cut out individual month titles ![IMG_2255](https://blog.gluedots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/IMG_2255.jpg?width=201&height=183&name=IMG_2255.jpg)and mount each title with corresponding month with Ultra-Thin Glue Dots.
4. Use Permanent Glue Dots to decorate your calendar with light weight embellishments as desired.
5. Place decorative calendar in frame for a more elegant touch.
6. Print tokens on white cardstock and cut out. Use Removable Glue Dots to adhere the token to the front of the calendar and move it from day to day. Decorate your calendar using other tokens and Removable Glue Dots to designate a special occasion or outing.
