How To Use the Printable Christmas Countdown as Decor
Want to use these super cute Christmas countdown printables as home decor? Prep this DIY Christmas printable art faster than you can sing “Jingle Bells”!
Step 1: Download and print the free Christmas countdown sign of your choice.
I highly recommend printing your Christmas sign on white card stock, because it will be less likely to look wrinkled in your frame. Plus, the card stock is sturdier so you can use your printable year after year.
I had my Christmas countdown signs printed on card stock at FedEx Kinko’s for about $1.50 each. Sometimes home printers don’t do a great job of printing large blocks of solid color, and a professional print shop can make your signs look much nicer.
*Note – Make sure you print the countdown PDF as “Actual Size”… The printable is sized specifically to fit in an 8″ x 10” frame, so if you select “Fit to Printable Area” then the design will be stretched and some of it may be cut off when you frame it.
Step 2: Trim the free printable Christmas countdown sign to 8″ x 10″ size.
The printable signs come in an 8″ x 10″ size, but they’re made to be printed on US Letter (8.5″ x 11″) paper. After you print the signs out, you will need to trim them down to fit into a frame. I suggest using a paper trimmer so that your cuts are nice and straight.
Step 3: Add the Christmas sign to an 8″ x 10″ frame.
If you want your Christmas countdown signs to take up more wall space or have more of an impact in your Christmas decor, you can frame them in an 11″ x 17″ frame with an 8″ x 10″ mat like I did down below. But any 8 x 10 frame with a portrait orientation (meaning it’s made to be displayed vertically) will work great!
Just make sure that your frame has a glass pane so you can use it as a dry erase board!
Step 4: Use a dry erase marker to countdown to Christmas.
The great thing about framing your Christmas countdown decor in a glass frame is that you can write on it just like you would a dry erase board… perfect for counting down to December 25th!
On December 1st, just write the number “24” on the glass frame in the space provided on the printable (because there are 24 days til Christmas). Then, on December 2nd, use a paper towel to wipe off the number 24 and replace it with 23. Super easy!
And your kids will LOVE changing the days on the printable Christmas Countdown sign!
