With the new year comes the need for a new calendar.  But, what if you had a Perpetual Calendar…. or other words a “Forever Calendar”? Don't change your calendar every year, just the date every day by rotating the numbers and the month!

One fun idea we have for our messy craft room is this DIY perpetual calendar by Simply Made Crafts. It’s super easy to make, and you can personalise it, being the perfect gift for your loved ones. Hands up, who doesn’t need a perpetual calendar in their office/room?
