Bubble Wrap Calendar

Step 5 Lay out the paper

Once you are happy with your printing size, print out your entire calendar on some nicer paper. Gloss or semi-gloss photo paper will make it look great. You are going to find that the table cells don't go to the bottom edge of the page, but that's perfect because that's the space we are going to use to stick the pages together. The advantage of printing it out over lots of pages is that it also gives you wiggle room to correct any sub-millimeter errors in your printing size that would magnify up over the whole calendar if you printed on a plotter or other large format printer.

I then laid the paper out on a tiled floor so that I could use the edge of the tiles to make a nice straight line. Loosely place the bubble wrap over the paper, and slide the paper up and down to get a perfect alignment all the way down. Then use some post-it notes to join the pages together while you are working on them.

Next, flip the paper over and use sticky tape to stick the pages together.
