Magnetic Holiday Advent Calendar DIY
| Polymer Clay Express • Advent Calendar Downloadable PDF (See Below) • Magnetic Sheets (Available at Office Supply Stores) • Craft Glue or Strong Double-Sided Tape • X-Acto Knife • Bone Folder • 1 4/8″ Craft Punch (Optional) INSTRUCTIONS 1. Begin by downloading and printing the Advent Calendar PDF. With an x-acto knife, trim out along black lines. Once circles are trimmed, cut inwards making small slits along outer rim. Be sure to cut only to the edge of the color. This will aid in fitting the rounds inside the lids. 2. With the inside of the lid facing up, place number on top, face down and press into place. Secure by rubbing the pointy end along the inside edge of the tin top. 3. To make them magnetic, cut circular shape slightly smaller than the tin from magnetic sheeting. This can be done with either a craft punch or x-acto knife. Glue to bottom of tin, making sure not to glue magnetic side (the dark side). 4. Fill tins with small candies, toys, cute paper clips, whatever will fit and your family will enjoy! 5. Arrange magnets on fridge or any other magnetic surface. Place in rectangular numerical order, in the shape of a tree, or arrange them randomly for added hunting fun. The possibilities are endless so have fun!
