how to make my own calendars ?

Ok before I get told off I have looked on the Christmas home-made-gift threads and can't fiond what I am looking for....
I want to make calendars for the kids grandparents for Christmas, something with one oage per monght with the calendary bit at the bottom and a photo of them. So 12 photos of them in all, one per month.
Not sure where to begin though - where to get the calendary bit from, what paper to use, how to stick the photos on (glue ? tape ? photo corners ?) and most worryingly, how to bind it all.
The idea is for it to cost 0p apart from printing out the photos at home and I suppose buying some paper or ribbon or something.
Does anyone have any inspiration ?
Thanks,
Jill

If you have Microsoft Word, insert the photo at the top of a page, then insert a table underneath for the calendar part.
Or File, New, Other Documents ... and follow the Calendar Wizard.Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac

Thanks guys, these are both great tips.
I've also decided to bind them with spine bars and white cotton string.
