HOW TO ASSEMBLE DIRECTED DRAWINGS CALENDARS
Once students complete all 12 months of their artwork calendar, students can add a portrait cover with a drawing of themselves. Then you can assemble the calendars using a binding machine, hole punch with ribbon or string, or stapled together.
I used a TruBind spiral binder to make mine. Here’s an affiliate link to the one I use: Click here. If you are looking for a less expensive alternative, here is one I recommend: Click Here.
