Countdown Calendar

Countdown Calendar
This is an easy project you can adjust to make it countdown to birthdays, vacations, midterms, or what ever.

You need:
A Plaque
Spray Paint (I used Krylon Glossy Raspberry and Emerald Green)
Chalk Board Paint (I used Krylon Black Spray)
Tape to mask lines
Paper to mask areas
Letter Stickers
and an Optional Clear Coat (I used Krylon Clear Varnish)

Step 1First Coat of Paint

First Coat of Paint
The plaque I used comes "pre-sanded", but the edges always seem a little rough to my husband, so he likes to sand them when ever he knows I'm working on something.  Other than that, just start painting.  I did 2 coats of Raspberry.  (I like the way pink and green look together for Christmas).  Wait for the paint to dry before you move to the next step.
