Come make a lovely DIY Christmas countdown calendar with dollar store supplies that you can use this Holiday season. I’ll show you how to make one that won’t cost you much, but that will match your decor perfectly!
Remember the “artist panel” from Dollarama that I used last season to make a rustic tray? (Get that DIY here!) Well, I’ve used this piece again, but this time I’m making something for Christmas: a countdown calendar!
I think these wooden framed panels are so fabulous, and for only a few dollars each, how could you go wrong?! The crafting possibilities are endless.
When combined with some paint, Dollarama wooden letters, Dollar Tree push pins and a golden vinyl decal, this panel becomes an adorable countdown calendar for the Christmas season. There’s a little wreath made from faux greenery that you can move along the calendar to anticipate how many more days there are until Christmas Day.
I had seen something like this on Pinterest, and followed the link. It led me to an item from Target that was no longer available. Since the calendar is no longer around (and since we don’t even have Target here in Canada anymore… *sniff*!), I thought it would be fun to create a calendar that was inspired by the one I had seen.
Follow the instructions below to make this DIY Christmas countdown calendar, or watch the video below:
Have fun creating your Christmas countdown calendar!
Such a perfect Christmas DIY Christina. I adore the colours you have used too.
Thank you for sharing DIY Christmas countdown calendar project on Create, Bake, Grow & Gather this week. I’m delighted to be featuring this post at tomorrow’s party and pinning too.
Hugs,

This is so perfect, it looks store bought and not DIY. I love the colors and that little wreath.
This is STUNNING! I am a doctor during Covid times and have had a hard time getting ready for the holidays due to everything going on in the world. I have been looking for a beautiful Christmas countdown and this is EXACTLY that! Would you ever consider selling it? I just don’t have the time to DIY in the next few weeks.
Can you tell me what size the board is and how tall the numbers are?
I love this and want to make one. Does it have a frame around it,and where that come from?
Thanks Linda
