Valentine's Day Countdown Calendar

This is a fun way to celebrate and add decor for Valentine's Day by having a countdown calender.  It is an interactive one that has a fun saying and a gift associated with each day on the back.  In this picture it shows on that day that the saying was
"I'm Nuts about You", so you give your Valentine nuts. 
 
I made this by using all Canvas Corp products. {18"x18" burlap frame, red clothespins, twine, canvas shapes, paper, corkstock, mini clothespins}
Attach the clothespins to the edge of the burlap, have the canvas shapes with the paper and corkstock mod podged on hanging by a mini clothespin.
For the top, cut the paper 4"x12" and fold like an accordian and form into a half circle.
Print off numbers and the banner using your computer, or you can use stickers.
Optional:  use a brown ink pad and ink the edges for a vintage look.
 
{that is an 18"x18" Burlap Frame...love that size!}
{Canvas Corp sells thin sheets of Corkstock!  You can stamp on it, mod podge over it...anything you want!}


Enjoy your weekend!
