How to make a Calendar with Binding Machine

To make a calendar in bookbinding, you would typically print your calendar design onto individual sheets of paper, then punch holes along the edge of the sheets, allowing you to bind them together using a binding method like wire-o, spiral binding, or even a traditional sewn binding, depending on your desired look and functionality; you might also create a cover separately to complete the calendar with a professional appearance.
