Calendar Globe 2019



Calendars'r'Us here at The Papercraft Post this week. Today I have a 3D Calendar Globe for you - 2019, of course. Each month is identified by its own appropriate icon. I have also given you a co-ordinating gift bag and tag - so you can flat-pack it and send it as a gift kit. Assembling the globe is a fun, easy-to-solve, puzzle. 

Here is your free print-and-cut 2019 Calendar Globe:

The globe is a platonic solid - a dodecahedron. It has twelve five-sided faces. You assemble the globe by joining its halves along its centre zig-zag points. (First you must assemble each half unit by creasing the folds, joining one end to the other to form a ring, then folding down the top.) I use double-sided tape to join the tabs.

Tip: when you join the halves of the globe, make sure that the colours balance out. If you start by joining April to September, you won't get like colours aligned.

Have fun making and sending your calendar globes.
