2022 Free Printable Desk Calendar
It’s out a little later than usual, but the 2022 free printable calendar is here! This is always my most requested post of the year and is my little Christmas present to you. I am so thankful to all of you that have taken the time to support me in some way throughout the year. Every comment, share, like and follow means the world to me. So thank-you from the bottom of my heart and enjoy your new 2022 calendar!
How to Download the Desk Calendar
I have all of the calendar months in one PDF file for you, so you just need to download the one link and save it to your files. If you’re having any troubles downloading it, try using Google Chrome for your browser {if you aren’t already} and check your security settings.
Once you have it downloaded, you can just print it off on your computer. I usually print mine four to a page {about a 3.5 x5 size}, but it works as a full size page too. If you print it as a different size, just make sure that check that you’re not cutting off any important information. Thick computer paper or cardstock is recommended for printing. Use a paper trimmer to trim the borders to your desired size.
Tips for Printing the Calendar
Every printer is a little bit different but here are a few printing tips that I use on our printer {and I use a Mac}:
- Always preview your images first to make sure that you like the layout before printing.
- To print four to a page, go to “preview” in the printer settings and then click on “layout”. Click on 4 pages {you could do 2 to a page too if you wanted the calendar it a little bigger} and print it out.
- If the calendar is not filling as much of the space as you would like, click on scale to fit or increase the scale percentage.
- I have left the calendar borderless so you can trim to whatever size you would like; however most printers will allow you to add a border when you print. This is under the layout section as well for our printer.
Calendar Gift Idea
These little calendars make the perfect Christmas gifts! They’re really cute and everyone can use a calendar! Once you have all of the months cut out, just add the title page to the top and package it all up. For a pretty presentation, add it to a little clipboard or clipboard frame, tie it up with some baker’s twine or narrow ribbon, or use a cute bulldog clip tied with some bells and ribbon.
How to Display Your Calendar
There are so many different ways that you can use this calendar! I like to use it as a small desk calendar – usually right on my work desk or at our kitchen command center – but I’ve loved hearing about all of the different ways that you’ve displayed yours and packaged them up for gifts. Here are some of my favorite ways that I’ve used this calendar in previous years…
- Place it on a wood slice holder. A wood slice makes a really cute calendar holder! Just cut off a 4-5 diameter piece of wood {I just found a big branch in my parent’s backyard} and then use a saw to make a small groove in the center to hold your calendar. You can dress it up with some ribbon or twine if you would like.
- Display it in a frame. Keep all of the months in the frame and then just rotate them around each month.
- Create a mini calendar for your purse.
- Use a clipboard. A clipboard is a quick and easy way to display you calendar. Just grab one in a similar size to what you print your calendar at and clip it on. {This is last year’s calendar!}
- Pin it on a pinboard.
