Christmas Countdown



I've been wanting to do a different kind of a Christmas countdown.
I found this idea on some website awhile back & loved it.
You simply take triangular shaped coffee filters and paint them
using red & green food coloring. The kids just squeezed out a few
drops of color onto each one. After they dried we numbered them
1-24 and put some small treats in each one. I found cute mini
clothespins with a Christmas theme. I used those to string them
all up onto a red ribbon. We hung it on our staircase. We enjoyed
our first one last night. Only 23 days till Christmas.

The finished product. We think it turned out pretty cute.
