Sunshine — Perpetual Calendar DIY Kit

never give up your whimsy

A little sunburst that never runs out of days. This hand-cast concrete calendar base holds two cubes and three cuboids that you flip and rearrange to mark any date, any month, any year — a keepsake that resets itself every single morning.

What's inside your box

The star of the showA hand-cast concrete calendar base in a sunburst shape, with a built-in groove that holds your date pieces upright and in place. Comes with:

• 2 concrete cubes (for the date digits)

• 3 concrete cuboids (for the month)

Cast by hand, so every base and piece carries its own small texture — no two calendars ever sit exactly alike.

Tools & Things pouch

• 1 washable paint palette

• 1 Camlin marker pen for outlining and detail work

• 2 Camel brushes (size 8) — one round, one flat, for blending and precision

• 1 set of Fevicryl acrylic colours

• 1 pencil for sketching your design before you paint

• 1 pair of disposable gloves

• 1 washable, waterproof cloth apron, so the mess stays where it belongs

Your paintables, in their own pouchYour calendar base and pieces sit safely together in a reusable canvas bag, ready to come out when you are.

Two guide cardsIncluding a colour-mixing guide with shade combinations to help you find your perfect palette before you commit brush to concrete.

How to letter your cubes and cuboids

Cube 1 (Tens digit): 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Cube 2 (Units digit): 0, 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 — flip the 6 upside down for a 9

Together these two cubes can form every date 01–31:

• Both cubes carry 0, 1, 2, so you can swap which cube shows which digit for 01–02, 10–12, 20–22 (handy for repeats like 11 and 22)

• Cube 2's 6 flips to 9, covering 06/16/26 and 09/19/29

• 30 and 31 come from Cube 1's 3 paired with Cube 2's 0 or 1

  
  

Cuboids = month. The 3 cuboids together spell a 3-letter month (JAN, FEB, MAR...) — since cuboids have more faces than cubes, fit a few month letters on each so all 12 months are covered.

Pencil first, ink after. Sketch each digit/letter lightly in pencil, adjust spacing, then trace with the Camlin marker pen and fill with acrylics if you'd like colour.

Let it dry fully before daily flipping, so nothing smudges.

The experience

This one rewards a little planning before the fun part — get your numbers and letters mapped out, pick a palette that matches your desk or your mood, and you'll have a calendar that's part functional object, part tiny daily ritual.

Good to know

• Concrete pieces: hand-cast, allow to fully dry before use and before daily handling

• Pouches and apron are reusable and washable — this kit is built to be used more than once

• Recommended: paint in a well-ventilated space, gloves on, apron on, worries off

Use it. Live it. Make memories with it.
