I started this craft a few years ago and finally just finished it. I think it turned out amazing.
Have you heard of muffin tin calendars? No? Then Jump on board and make one for yourself.
Items Needed:
(1) Mini 24 count muffin tin
Scrapbook Paper
Embellishments
Vinyl lettering (purchased or made yourself)
Mini Magnets or a magnetic roll
Number stickers
Hole Punch
Glue Dots / Zots
Glue of your choice
Directions:
1. Cut (24) 2" squares from solid card stock
2. Cut (24) 1 3/4" squares from festive card stock
3. Attach the festive card stock to the solid card stock
4. Add embellishments to each square using stickers, paper, ribbon, etc.
5. Add number stickers to each square.
6. Using mini magnets that you purchased attach four to each square (one on each corner).
If you did not buy any, then you get to make your own (like me)! Roll out your magnetic roll and using a single hole punch, punch out tiny magnets. This will make the perfect size magnet. Now GLUE your magnet to the paper. The adhesive that comes with the magnet is not strong enough.
7. Using pre-purchased vinyl or a cricut or silhouette attach the words Christmas Countdown to your muffin tin. Mine were 3/4" tall as that is what fit best on my muffin tin.
8. Now attach the squares to your muffin tin.
9. When it comes time to use it, hide a note or treat in each hole for your children/spouse/friends to find. Open one a day until Christmas!
