Hi everyone, Mou here with today's tutorial.
Recently at a CKU event, I saw some super cute projects using baking sheets. Inspired by those, I made my own Christmas Advent Calendar using the October Aternoon Make It Merry collection.
For this, I used:
Make A Countdown 12x12 paper
Make A Bow 12x12 paper
and some tags (twenty-four 2.75"x1.5" and one 2.75"x4.75"), Distress Stains, Sprinklers, paint, a baking sheet (16.5"x10.5"), mini clips, Mod Podge and crop a dile.
Let me walk you through the steps.
1. Cut out all the number blocks from the Make A Countdown paper.
2. Attach the numbers to the tags: 1 to 24 on small tags and 25 on the bigger tag. Trim off any excess.
3. Color the tags with Distress Stains.
4. Color the baking sheet with red acrylic paint. Let dry.
5. Cut Make A Bow paper to fit the middle of the baking sheet. Seal the whole thing with a coat of Mod Podge. Let dry.
6. Holding the baking sheet horizontally, mark at 0.75", 3.75", and 7" on both sides from the top with a pencil.
7. Use crop a dile or a craft drill to make holes on the marked spots.
8. Tie baker's twine through the holes.
9. Attach the tags as shown to the baker's twine 'clothesline' with mini clothes pins.
10. Splatter some Sprinkler inks across the whole thing to finish.
Hope you enjoyed today's tutorial and will add your handmade touches to your
Holiday decor this year!
