Your Guide For Stylish Living
Hello there! Today’s the day for the unveiling of my Christmas tree and I’m so glad you stopped by to check it out.
Every year I create a different theme for my tree, using items that I already own and adding a few new things. This year I decided to take my love for plaids and my favorite color red, and use it as the foundation for my theme.
…
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed the long weekend.
I’m excited to share my latest DIY Christmas craft with you today! I had an idea in my mind to create a Christmas Countdown using my chalkboard and originally planned to use burlap bags to hold a daily treat.
I was going to stencil numbers onto the front of each bag and hang it on my chalkboard with a magnetic clothes pin.
Each bag was going to hold a little treat or a special message that my hubby and I could share each day.
My Christmas Countdown was going to be cute and whimsical, and fit in with my black, white and red tartan Christmas decor theme.
Then it happened…

I love the Christmas season and everything that goes with it. When December 1st rolls around, I anxiously countdown the days until Santa comes and this year I created a fun DIY piece to make the countdown more fun.
This was an easy and quick DIY project and would be a great one to get the kids involved in creating.
Supplies needed: Clear plastic boxes from Hobby Lobby Assorted holiday themed scrapbook papers Chalkboard Stickers (Target $1.00 section) Double Sided Tape and Foam Mounting Tape Scissors and Ruler or Cutting Board
Simply cut your scrapbook paper in 4″ squares to fit each side of your plastic box. I used 4 different paper designs so there could be a different pattern on each side of my box.
Using your double-sided tape, attach the paper squares to the block.
Next you’ll want to layer on your numbers, using numbers 0,1,2,3,4,5. One of the paper styles I used featured blocks with different numbers on them and I cut out specific numbers to use as my number tiles. I also used the chalkboard stickers as number tiles.
Use the foam tape to layer decorative paper under your number tiles to give your blocks some dimension.
Each side of the two blocks features a single number which allows you to pair them together to countdown from 25 to 1!
When I finished making my Christmas Countdown Blocks I couldn’t help but smile at the finished project. I absolutely love how it turned out!
The only downside of countdown blocks is a reminder of how much I have to get done before Christmas 🙂
