Now, cut and sand four cubes. These parts will display the months, days and date of the year on your calendar.Two cubes will dispaly the date numbers of the current month.One cube should have numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 0 painted each on one side of the cube.The second cube should have numbers: 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and 0. Number 6 on this cube will serve also as 9 when needed.Third cube will display the day names. So paint the Monday trough Sunday onto each side of the of the cube, and one side will stay empty.The fourth cube will have the months on it. Now, you should paint two by two months together on each cube side, but each of that two names should be reversed, so for example is it’s a month January, the cube should be put in the position to show January correctly, and February upside down. When February came, just flip the cube.
When the numbers and month are in question, you can choose to simply drawn or paint them, but the real vintage feel they will get, if you use the marquetry technique, carving technique or even a woodburning technique. Choice is up to you.
Now, put the number cubes in the center of the frame, with current day number in front, than choose the current month and day on each cube, put them into cornes and enjoy. Of course, do not forget to flip cubes tommorow, and each following day, so this beautiful perpetual clendar serve right its purpose.
