This shelf sitter countdown to Christmas sign makes counting the days until Christmas a little more fun. Personalize by changing the font or changing the text.

## Materials Used:

-   1/4" columbia forest maple plywood for backer (Home Depot)
    
-   1/8" Acrylic (all acrylic is from CMB/Houston Acrylic)
    
    -   Matte Green
        
    -   White
        
    -   Pastel Dusty Rose
        
    -   Matte Apple Red
        
    -   Mattle Limesicle
        
    -   Matte Taupe
        
    -   Matte Bone
        
    -   I used these magnets from [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09X1WWD3P?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1) to easily switch out the numbers.
        

## Slot Sizer for Stand:

1.  Click [here](https://cuttle.xyz/@littleloonco/Slot-Sizer-rvmUXn26Yfbm) for the slot sizer, and cut out in the thickness of the material you are using for your project.
    
2.  Test a few different slot sizes using a scrap piece or unused edge of the same material to determine which gives you the best fit.
    
3.  Once you’ve found the ideal fit, enter that number in the slot size parameter.
    

## Tips:

-   You can affix the white rectangles to the sign and use dry erase markers to write in the numbers instead of cutting out all the numbers and switching them each day.
    
-   I used magnets to easily switch out the numbers. If you are using magnets, I would delete the scored guide rectangles from the backer, so they don't show.
    
-   You could use magnets or Velcro to stick the numbers to the board and be able to switch them easily.
    
-   There are two trees included. One with the circles scored so the colored circles sit on top of the tree, and one where the circles are cut out, so the colored circles sit flush with the tree.
