{Days Until Countdown Boards} Teacher Gifts

My boys are both in preschool, soooo... that means LOTS of teachers & teacher assistant gifts for Christmas. I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw Very Jane's deal of the day right after Thanksgiving. Right at that moment I was knee deep in researching vinyl decal prices, chalkboard paint, boards, paint, and tutorials on how to make that happen. Very Jane offered these E.A.D. Designs Countdown boards already made for $4.50 each, perfect! I bought 10! I added tags and red and white divine twine.

My sons' teachers are so wonderful at helping teach and prepare my children for all the special holidays we celebrate, I thought this would be the perfect way to help them with their own special celebrations.

Whisker Graphics and E.A.D. Designs Blog Hop: Quick and Easy Holiday Countdown

Welcome new visitors from the Whisker Graphics and E.A.D. Designs Blog Hop! My name is Jenny, I am a member of the Whisker Graphics Design Team. So glad you stopped by! Today I am showing you a quick and easy way to create a "Days Until..." Countdown for the Holidays. The best part about this project is that you can completely customize it to match your own Holiday color scheme.

"Days Until" Countdown
using E.A.D. Designs Chalk-it Tags

I cut out a piece of wrapping paper to fit my 5 x 7 frame. I then placed an E.A.D. Designs chalk-it tag on the outside of the glass. A simple and elegant way to count down the days until the Holidays!
