Free Printable Calendar 2021
I love to have a pretty calendar on my desk! Our gorgeous first Calendar was designed 3 years ago. Since then, we have had numerous requests each year for an updated version. So here it is. Our Free Printable Calendar 2021 is ready for you here on The Graphics Fairy. It is just beautiful! Flora, birds, and the occasional fairy are included. It was created just for you by one of our favorite designers, Anja from On a Whimsical Adventure. Anja used images from our Premium Membership Site HERE, to create this gorgeous Calendar! Our Premium Members receive amazing beautiful Printables every week on our Membership site, but this one was especially made just for our blog readers. You can print all of the pages of our charming Vintage Floral Cartouche themed Printable CD Calendar below. Scroll to the end of the tutorial to download the high resolution PDF files. We hope that you enjoy will this Free Gift and that 2021 is a wonderful year for you!
Our 2021 Printable CD Case Calendar
We love our compact CD Case Calendars. The CD Case Calendar adds a custom designer touch to your desk. We will show you how to turn an ordinary jewel case into a calendar display easel. Each month is personalized with its own lovely image. This is a quick, easy, and very affordable gift for the man in your life, a special teacher, or office teammates. All you need to do is print out the PDF pages, trim the edges, and place them on a CD jewel case. It is truly that simple to create a useful handmade token gift.
CD Printable 2021 Calendar Tutorial
You can purchase pre-made calendar CD cases or you can make your own out of a CD jewel case you already own. Here are the easy-to-follow directions for our DIY Free Printable Calendar 2021. Select a CD case. I prefer a slim one, but any jewel case you have on hand should work. For this tutorial, I will use a two tone case so you can better see the steps.
Carefully separate the top cover from the bottom cover.
Do this carefully, because you do not want to break the tiny plastic pins that are on the little hinges. (See below) That is what holds the entire piece together.
Flip both pieces over so that the inside is facing down. Reattach them with the outsides facing each other. It will form an angled easel as you see in the step below.
Carefully attach the side back together. The inside of each piece will be outside now.
Slowly turn the front clear piece toward the blue back. (Note: Yours may not have a blue piece.) Stop when you hear a little click. DO NOT force it or it will close all the way and break.
This is what it will look like now.
Here is another bulkier one folded backwards.
Print Your Calendar
Print your calendar from our Free Printable Calendar 2021 at the end of this tutorial. Do not scale it down or up. It is the perfect size. I printed these on white cardstock but any heavy paper will do.
Trim the sides, top, and bottom close to the print area. Adjust as needed based on your case. Some like to tear the top edge instead of cutting.
Place the month on the front of the case. There are little tabs that hold it nicely in place. On my case there is also a thin ledge for it to rest on.
NOTE: You may need to trim the bottom to fit your case. Take your time with this. Anja designed some play room on both the top and bottom edges. Option: I like to tear my top edge for a more rustic vintage look!
Store the extra months underneath so you will have them handy.
Enjoy creating our Free Printable 2021 Calendar!
