Assembly

Attach the tiles to the calendar with brads or desired items. I chose to tie my candy corn tiles together at the corners with matching yarn.
Snaps: Center the header over the snaps already sewn to the organizer to find placement. Sew two coordinating snap pieces to the back of the header piece so they line up with the snaps on the organizer.
