These are the separate pieces that make up the calendar.
The paper I used is a heavy-weight paper, Strathmore 300 Series Bristol 100lb. (270 g/m²).
Here are the templates I've drawn showing the measurements that I used (sorry, I don't have them in centimetres too):
BLOCKS or CUBES - for the dates
These are 2" blocks. Create 2 of them. One block is for the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The other block is for the numbers 0, 1, 2, 6, 7 and 8. The number 6 also serves as the number 9.

Cut, score and fold as per template.
Apply adhesive to the 1/2-inch flaps and adhere to create your block.
4-SIDED BARS - for the months
Create 3 of these 4-sided bars giving you 12 sides for the 12 months of the year.

DISPLAY CASE

Cut, score and fold as per template.
Adhere the two side top flaps to the back of the centre panel as shown.
Optional: Round the corners as shown--I used a Martha Stewart Corner Rounder punch.
BOTTOM AND BACK PLATFORMS FOR THE DISPLAY CASE
These are required so the blocks and bars can be displayed at an upward tilted angle.

Cut, score, fold as per template and adhere as shown.

You now have all the pieces made up for your calendar--still undecorated though. At this point, decorate the pieces with your designer/patterned papers, numbers, months, etc. as desired--I won't be decorating my pieces here...hee hee.
This is just to show you where all the pieces will fit AFTER you've decorated your pieces.
The back platform will go here. Adhere in place.
The bottom platform will go here. Adhere in place.
The three 4-sided bars with the months on them are to be placed on top of the bottom platform.
The two blocks/cubes with the dates on them are to be placed on top of the bars.

Oh how wonderful of you to do a tutorial on this. I showed it to my 8 year old granddaughter the other day and she really wants to make one, so now we have all the measurements etc., which will make it a LOT easier. Guess what I'll be doing in the Easter holidays? lol.
