Zeeeeeep!!! So the girls in the office were brainstorming a bit when I was out one day and came up with the idea to do a wall calendar. And I was all…. “I dunno, do you think people would want one!?” And then I came around and now I am SO EXCITED and this might be one of my favorite free printables ever!!! We made the coolest free printable 2017 wall calendar!!! Our girl Katy designed it and each month has a different fun pattern. Plus we put in some of our favorite holidays and anniversaries!!! (i.e. Spice World turns 20 this year. TWENTY! I am old.)
I know several of you had mentioned doing some office-y DIYs and I think this is perfect for an office/cubicle!! Hopefully you’ll learn some fun facts along the way, too. Like the date that Bubble Tape was invited. (#priorities)
If your printer flips on the short side when printing double sided, click HERE to print the 2017 calendar!
If your printer flips on the long side when printing double sided, click HERE to print the 2017 calendar!
Ok! So there’s a few ways you can put together this calendar. I wanted mine to look like I bought it at a store, so I went to my local office supply shop to print and bind it. It cost about $12-$15 total I think!
UPDATE: As far as printing goes, you can print the file double-sided. Unfortunately, all printers are different so I have provided two files depending on how your printer works. I recommend testing one or two pages to see how it prints before printing the entire thing.
It will print on 8.5 x 11″ paper with a white border which I chose to trim off before binding it!
If you would prefer a DIY solution, you can print it at home and punch four holes across the top, through all the layers, then tie with ribbon or secure with small binder rings.
I hung mine with a binder clip and a command hook, but you could also punch a hole through all layers on the bottom and hang directly on the wall with a nail/hook! So many options, I know, but wanted to give you guys all of ’em depending on your budget + aesthetic preference!

If you print + make one, be sure to tag me in your insta pic and use #troopstudiodiy so I can see it! It’s always so fun when a project idea turns out even better than you thought it would! Hope you love it!!

These are so stinking cute! I may have to print one out, even though I got an awesome calendar for Christmas! I guess my classroom could use one… 🙂
Kelly says
I mean, there are definitely some history lessons on it! Who wouldn’t call Dirty Dancing historic?!
ELISE LANEY says
Sooooo cute!!! Thank you for the fun freebie. Also, is it National Taco day yet????
Kelly says
It’s ALMOST National Taco Day! Only 9 more months to go! 😂😂
Jessica Mischna says
Its super cute! I wish you would have included some of the main Jewish holidays thought… Hanukkah, Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur and Passover. I know you can’t hit every holiday for every religion. I KNOW, but just wanted to say it anyways. Anyways, super cute! Keep doing you!
Kelly says
Hi Jessica! You know what, you are completely right. That was a huge oversight on our part and I am so sorry. Luckily, Katy and I were able to update the calendar to include a few of the Jewish holidays so it is more inclusive now. The download link is updated above! I appreciate the feedback and am really grateful you brought this to my attention!
Chris says
I love this! I don’t know how I’m doing it wrong though…I printed it 2 sided but my Month pages are upside down to my diary pages…I feel so daft but I can’t work it out. :-/
Amanda J says
I just printed it (at work–LOL), and I’m having the same problem. The orientation is not correct. (I printed double sided as instructed.)
Kelly says
Hey Chris & Amanda!
The calendar is purposely printed to be “upside down,” so that when you flip it, the month will then be right side up!
If you flip it wall calendar style, like in the photos, it works out perfectly!
Just did a demo on Instagram stories — check it out!
🙂
Chris says
It’s when I flip it for a wall it’s upside down (and when I turn it it makes the next month upside down). I’ll have a look when I’m back in the office tomorrow but Amanda I’m glad I’m not the only one getting it wrong. 😉
Kelly says
Hm, I think I’m confused about what’s happening! If you have Snapchat or Instagram — send me a picture!
Audrey says
I am having the same problem!
If I were to put it together as is, when I flip the calendar to the next month, the dates are right-side up but the month name is upside down. If I flip the month to be the correct orientation the prior month’s dates are upside down.
I went to go print double sided on a different axis, but the work printer is set to that way only =(
Kelly says
Hey! Someone brought up that the “edges” need to be different. I believe you’d have to change the settings from short edge to long edge, or vice versa!
Hope that helps!
Audrey Raboin says
Thanks for the second edition!
Kelly says
You’re welcome!
Marie says
Where is the OMG sticker from?!! Love it!!
Kelly says
Hey Marie!
It’s a card! It’s from The Social Type!
Chelsey says
I LOVEEE this! Can’t wait to hang it by my desk! I hope this is a yearly calendar 😉
Kim says
The orientation is not working out correctly when printed. I’ve tried 6 different times and its still not accurate for wall hanging.
Kelly says
Sorry you’re having trouble, Kim! Every printer is different. Be sure to make sure yours is set to flip on the short side NOT on the long side when printing double sided. Hope that helps!!!
Kim says
AHHH! I don’t think I tried that, thank you! I’ll try again.
Ariona says
This is the cutest calendar I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing!

This is awesome!! My workplace decided to save money by not buying us calendars this year… so I printed this using their paper/ink/binding materials… It’s the only thing brightening my desk space and I LOVE it! Glad I found it right before ‘Ice cream for breakfast’ day, I almost missed out!
Pari says
Loved the calendar! Can’t wait to get it printed!
