Instructions for assembly

1. Print out: month circles, name cirlces, date circles, happy birthday letters and fleur-de-lis background. Do not laminate. 2. Mod Podged the background paper to the board. Use a straight edge to help keep bubbles and wrinkles to a minimum.

3. Mod Podged the month labels onto the board, giving each month a 1/2 inch between it and the next. Let it dry for several hours.

4. Lay out the name and date circles under the appropriate month. Measure the ribbon so that each name and date have 1/2 inch between them, and each name has 1/2 inch between it and the next. 5. Make sure the spacing correct and the kids' birthdays are correct. Glue the names and dates to the ribbons. Do not use any ribbon if there are no birthdays in a month.

6. Flipped the board over and staple the ribbons to the back using a staple gun. THIS IS IMPORTANT!! Do NOT use glue.

7. Use a Sharpie or white paint pen to write the names of the kids and the dates of their special day.

10. Add trim ribbon around the edge if you want.
