Make a DIY cube calendar
When I went to MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) during last summer , I loved the shop there compared to the museum because they had a lot of creative products and I was going through each one of them and I felt like having all of them.(Obviously, that is not possible :P)Then my DIY mind said that I can do some of them . One of them were this perpetual cubes calendar.. Of course, it can be any day of any year to start this as it is a never ending calendar.And it is a perfect gift to give year long and also serves as a desk accessory.Lets see how to make these.

Step 1
Decide the color scheme of the cubes . My current faves are teal ,gold ,black and white but you can chose your own favorite color scheme or go with mine. Paint the cubes in the colors you picked. I went with teal for date cubes, white for days cube and gold for months.Two to three coating will be perfect to mask the wood from showing through.

Step 2
Now to the making of stand for cubes.I made this stand by trail and error method.With cubes measurement as key I started building the stand. You can pretty much make this stand for whatever size of cube you have. My cubes measured 1.4".So, if you also have the same cube measurement, then You will need
2 card boards(Middle) -- 6" x 1.4"
1 card board (Front) -- 6" x 1"
1 card board (Back) -- 6" x 2.6"
1 card board (Base) -- 6" x 2.4"Attach the middle two pieces with hot glue as shown.
