Announcing our first craft-along: A Valentine’s Day countdown calendar
Posted by Little Sister on 03 Jan 2009 at 07:35 am | Tagged as: Valentine's Day, craft-along
We’re ready to start on our first craft-along and we’ve chosen to make a Valentine’s Day Countdown calendar. The only guidelines are to have some sort of countdown to Valentine’s Day for the first fourteen days in February and to have it completed by January 14th. It can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional, out of paper, fabric, wood — anything you like! We’ll post our calendars with tutorials on January 14th, giving anyone who wants to make one enough time to do so before February. Feel free to link to your own calendars in the comments and remember to photograph the process if you’d like to post a tutorial. We will definitely feature our favorites!! Stay tuned in the meantime for other crafty goodness. Happy crafting!
I saw this project last year but didnt have enough time to get it done before the beginning on Feb when I found it, so i vowed to keep it in my head for the next year and that I would start it ahead of time…………..well i forgot :O, LOL! JUst remembered the other day and so have very diligently gathered all the supplies around my house and got a quick start. SO excited to give to my daughter when I’m finished. I need to get cracking on it as I have 1 month to finish it……can be tricky getting anuthing done with a toddler and a baby!
Anyway, I love love love this project! Hoping I can post a pic of my finished calender. I’m using really thick felt as the background fabric and so opted to not use cardboard and I dont think the thick felt would wrap very easily around cardboard but as I read further on in the project you said the animals dont stick very well, so a little concerned with this as I was going to hang it and it wont be sturdy enough to just prop up……………hmmmmmmmmmmm, any ideas??????????????????
