Material needed for Cookie Sheet Advent Calendar

1 cookie sheet not Teflon coated. (The Dollar Store is a great place to find one)
Acrylic Paint and brush
Drill
A couple coordinating patterned papers
Chipboard
At least 25 magnets
Lots of numbers...such as rub ons or stickers
Trinkets o plenty: buttons, stars, mini cookie cutters, metal shapes, mini watch tin holders, ribbon, etc.
Glue stick
Ruler
Sharpie marker
Glitter (but of course)
Clear sealer (such as Krylon)
Ribbon or chain for hanging

Instructions for your Advent Calendar

1. Drill 2 holes in top left and right of cookie sheet. Holes need to be large enough to string ribbon through.

2. Tear or cut papers and arrange as desired to cover back side of cookie sheet. My calendar shows paper and top and bottom. Glue stick back of paper-cover completely) and adhere to sheet.

3. Paint sides and rim of cookie sheet and parts of the paper.

4. When paint dry, use a Sharpie marker to create a grid with 7 slots across and 4 rows. Measure the width of your calendar and divide that # by 7 to know how wide each rectangle will need to be. Do the same for the length of the grid. Note that the grid does not completely cover the sheet, the tops and bottoms are left blank for embellishing.

5. Add Title. Another option is to cut a swag banner shape, paint it and add December rub ons to the banner when paint is dry. If you add magnets to this banner, you can remove it and add other months later if you like! A monthly calendar, a birthday countdown, vacation countdown, or other holidays would be fun!

6. Add a smallish embellishment to lower right hand corner of calendar. If you give this piece a magnetic backing, you can change these out like the month banner to keep the cookie sheet reusable.

7. Add any other words to accent the calendar. Keep in mind that for the beginning of the countdown, the calendar will be less full of numbers, and so adding a word here and there will help fill in the grid until more numbers are added to it when the month progresses.

8. Seal the entire cookie sheet with a Krylon Spray Clear Sealer or something similar.

9. Now the fun and detail begins! Create those numbers. Use all the same numbers, or go a step beyond for more fun...and make them different and unique as shown above. Be sure the numbers you add aren't too heavy and that there is room to add magnets to the back. I found magnets in different strengths at the local craft store. Magnets with an adhesive backing work great and are easy to cut.

10. String ribbon through those top holes to hang.

11. Store the numbers behind the cookie sheet and bring out a new one each day.
