DIY Framed Christmas Countdown {Tutorial}

I have wanted to make some kind of Countdown to Christmas this year.  I have about a bajillion (I love that word!) frames that I haven't done anything with, so guess what?  I used a frame! 

 This was UBER easy and I know it isn't worthy of a tutorial, but I am having so much fun with them and using Picnik that I made a tutorial for you!  

1. You will need a picture frame {I used an 8 x 10}.

-paint {I used Martha Stewart Habanero Red}.

-1 sheet of Scrapbook paper.

-I used a vinyl lettering kit that I got on clearance for my countdown. It came with the little chalkboard circle.

- spray adhesive {instead of Mod Podge, although I do love me some Mod Podge!}. It was just easier to use spray adhesive. 

-sand paper

2. Take the glass, etc. out of the frame and paint it the desired color.  I used 2 coats.  After it was dry, I sanded it with my palm sander.  Set aside.

3. When I picked out my paper, I cut it to size, then using spray adhesive, I adhered it to a piece of cardboard that I cut out to use in the frame.  

4. Insert the paper backing into the frame, then adhere the vinyl lettering and chalkboard circle sticker. 

 

DONE! 

 

So simple and cheap!  You could cut out letters and use a dry erase marker, if you don't have access to  vinyl lettering.  

Thanks so much for stopping by my little blog today!  I hope you all are enjoying the holiday season:)
