What you'll need:

  • Small chalkboard with wooden frame around it

  • Decorating: holiday stencils, paint , ribbons, bows, and whatever else you think would make it look good!

How to make it:

  1. Take colored chalk or paint pen and draw a straight line about an inch from the top of the chalkboard. Then write: "Days 'til Christmas".
  2. Cut a piece of ribbon about a foot to a foot-and-a-half long (it should be long enough to hang the chalkboard up). Glue one end to each of the top sides of the board.
