Last year my side of the family had a "Christmas Craft Night" where all the girls that wanted to make this project got together to craft, visit, and snack! We had a great time & we each made a set of these Christmas countdown blocks! Here's my set................

My brother was kind enough to cut all the blocks for us. We just Mod Podged on different Christmas-themed patterned papers. Then added the numbers (cut out of black cardstock) with Mog Podge. The words on the large bottom block was simply printed out on the paper.

I'm happy with how it turned out. If I was to do it over, I would probably paint the blocks white before adding on the paper. But I kind of like them plain, too!
I used a punch to round the corners, then inked the edges with some distressing ink. The project would have been even easier if one of us had owned a machine to cut the numbers out of vinyl, but our way worked well!
adorable!!
