Bonsai 365!

I've wanted to design a bonsai tree ever since making my first plant design. But I wanted to wait until i had a great idea for what it's function should be: which turned out to be this Calendar!

Bonsai trees are a visual representation of the passage of time. They are grown and pruned over decades. So what better plant to represent a calendar than a Bonsai? This was modeled after is a Japanese Maple, known for their uniquely shaped red leaves.

On the first of the month you start with a bare tree. And each day the tree gets a new leaf so you can watch your month bloom.

If you love Bonsai Trees but want something a little smaller, check out my Bendy Bonsai Fidgets!

How to use? To start the month, remove all the leaves from the tree. On the first day of the month, place the 1st leaf in front of the rock in the pot. Then on the 2nd day, swap leaf 1 with leaf 2 and place it on the tree. Repeat each day of the month to keep track of the date and to watch your tree bloom! At the end of the month, swap the month card inside of the rock.

How does the pot work? The pot, drawer, and leaf lifters all print in place. The drawer is pushed out to one side to allow you to grab your month card and leaf for your tree. There are lifters to help you life your leaf out of the drawer.
