Classy  Instructions
countdowns

  1. Print one of the decorated background of your choice from the downloaded pdf.
  2. Cut it out carefully.
  3. Use glue of your choice to adhere the background to the front of the clipboard.
  4. If desired Mod Podge over the front of the entire board and background, being careful around the metal clip. This gives it a nice finish and will make it last longer.
  5. Print the number cards you choose on card stock and cut them out.
  6. Make a pouch if desired for the back of the clipboard to hold the letters when not in use. A CD envelope works perfectly. I added felt (a 1″ ribbon would work well) to the back to hold the flap closed. This is optional.
  7. Tie a nice bow with a ribbon of your choice and glue or hot glue onto clip part of board.
  8. This is a count DOWN so stack the numbers in REVERSE with the Christmas Day card being at the very bottom and the number 25 on top. Remove one a day starting the 1st of December. This can be hung or placed on a small easel.

      Oh my gosh… I’m SO sorry about that Lora and thank you so much for letting me know. I always test all my downloads but somehow this one got bypassed. I’ve fixed it. I sure appreciate you stopping by!
