Hey guys! As I promised, I'm writing about the Halloween countdown I posted on Instagram and what you'll need for it! Overall, it was a pretty easy project. If you don't mind spending some time at Michael's or A.C. Moore you should be able to get all of the items to make this countdown! Below I'll write what you need to make this as smooth as possible. What to purchase...if you don't have this stuff already
How to Make Your Countdown 1. Have your clean baking pan and two pieces of your base scrapbook paper ready. Measure the paper up to the pan. You will have to cut the paper to adjust to the size of the pan. I used about a piece and a half of black paper. Once cut, I used double stick tape to connect to two pieces.
2. Next, have your overlay piece of paper ready. If you can, go outside and spray the spray adhesive on the back of the paper. You can always put a piece of cardboard behind it so the front doesn't get sticky. *Remember BEFORE sticking the paper down, there needs to be room for the words on the top and bottom! Put the overlay on top of the other paper. 3. Place the papers onto the pan and use the detachable magnets on all four corners. They are heavy duty and it keeps the paper in place. 4. Punch out the letters and use double sided adhesive foam square dots to attach to the paper. You can write Halloween Countdown, Countdown to Halloween, Days 'til Halloween, etc! 5. Set all your numbers up to make sure you have enough! I had to run back to the store because I forgot day 18, oops! Cut and stick some of Alene's magnet tape on the back of the numbers. You don't have to stick magnets, but I wanted to be able to move them. If you want them in place you could probably use a glue gun or a heavy duty glue. 6. Find your Halloween stickers and make sure you have 31! It can be hard to find 31 cute Halloween stickers, so if you are having trouble look at scrapbook paper, they will have bats, ghosts, etc that you can cut out and use instead. You can look at cards or decorations as well. Once you have the stickers apply Alene's magnetic adhesive tape to the back. It is important to use a heavy duty magnet because it will not go through all the paper and it will slide down the pan. Also if you use Alene's, each year you can put different figures on different dates or change them out if you find new ones. 7. Lastly, on each day choose your figure to place on the date! ----------- I really hope these directions made sense! If you have any questions please feel free to comment below or contact me through the contact page. I want to make this easy and fun for you to do by yourself, with friends or your kids! I hope everyone enjoys! Sincerely,Michelle Follow me on Instagram at: michellelobrace
