Hi there -- I made some of these for Christmas last year -- I used a perpetual calendar from Microsoft Word. Open up Word, open the help funtions and type "birthday calendar template" in the search field. Microsoft Office Online will offer you several choices. The one I used was titled "birthday and anniversary calendar (6 pp)". It gives you two months per page. Click on it, then you will get a preview and the opportunity to download it. It is free. You can just cut it right in half, but I did trim each half down a bit more (about 1/2 inch on each side and about 3/4 inch on the top and bottom) because it seemed like there was alot of white space around and it looked more professional to have a "custom" size rather than just an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet cut in half.
I made my chipboard covers 1/2 inch wider and 1/4 inch longer than the finished page size. I bound it with the top of the pages and the top of the covers flush and it left a 1/4 inch overlap on the other three sides.
If you save the template to your desktop, you can edit it and add in birthdays on the lines. I did this, so when I gave them to my family, everyone's birthday and anniversary was already printed on the calendar.
