Create a spooky Halloween countdown with this haunted house design! The moon rotates to reveal the number of days left until Halloween, making it a fun interactive piece of seasonal decor. Customize the colours and materials to match your style, then display it all October long as the countdown gets closer to the big night.

## Materials used:

-   Macaron, Moonflower, White, Cantaloupe and Strawberry Milk 1/8" acrylic from [COHn Acrylics (get 15% off your first order with coupon code BONNIE15)](https://www.cohnacrylics.com/?bg_ref=IPyQMEnIPw)

## Kerf Tips:

-   I use a slot sizer to determine the measurement to put in the "Slot Size" field.
    
-   Find a link to the slot sizer below
    
-   To use a slot sizer, simply cut it out of your desired material (I use one for 1/4" thick material, and one for 1/8" thick material - keep them and reuse for all materials this thick!)
    
-   Insert the project material into the slot sizer to find the slot that fits snuggly
    
-   Insert the measurement listed there into the Slot Size parameter above.
