This whole project began the day I decided I wanted to give something hand-made and crafty to the hubby for valentines day..I'd seen a few advent calendars using cupcake pans and thought they were super cute and wanted to try making one myself. So armed with that knowledge and the fact that Will enjoyed the christmas calendar I had made him I decided this was the way to go!
What do you think!?..
I decided to use a mini cupcake pan for the longer months with holidays in them! I've decided that you could re-use the pan for each holiday and make different themed discs for each one..such as christmas, easter, halloween or whatever holiday you are so excited to countdown for! I used magnetic sheets, scrap paper and a hole punch to create the discs for each day.
So as I crafted it turned out the calendar itself was super easy but coming up with the goodies for each day was a little tougher..so I went with the theme of the "12 days of Christmas" and made it my own as the "13 days of Valentines".. I've had tons of fun making each little treat for Will and I think he's having fun so far counting down the days because he asks if its time to check the calendar!
