You should also create a tab that will be folded flat against the calender's surface to hold the pocket on. Where the 1/2" line intersects the side 2" line, draw a diagonal line from the point and to the top edge of the outline.Ī bend line for the bottom of the pocket is made of equal length to the gap formed in between the side diagonal and the vertical line.
