Perpetual clay calendar 12. January 2023

Divide the self-hardening clay into two parts and roll out each part into a rope with a diameter of around 2 cm.

Wrap the two clay ropes around each other.

Wrap your square box in clingfilm to avoid damaging it with the clay.

Place the two wrapped clay ropes across the top of the box and let the rope ends rest on the surface on each side of the box.

Cut each end to make them even in size and smooth out the surface of the clay with a damp paint brush. Let the clay dry completely.

Download and print the templates and cut them out.

Punch holes in the tops of the templates and divide them onto the three metal rings, seperating them into months on one ring, the numbers 0-3 on another, and the rest of the numbers on the last ring.

When the wrapped clay is completely dry, you can choose to paint the calendar a lovely colour. If you do so, remember to let the paint fully dry before you move onto the next step.

Place the metal rings with the cut-out templates around the clay calendar by guiding the calendar into the three rings. Make sure to place the ring with the months to the left, the ring with the numbers 0-3 in the middle, and the ring with the rest of the numbers to the right.

Your charming perpetual clay calendar is now ready to become a practical and decorative element in the home office or someplace else in the home.
