Making a Wedding Countdown Frame

Total Time: 30 minutes

Supplies:

• picture frame
• kraft paper
• twine string
• clips
• scissors
• number stickers
• print out

Steps:

1. I used this editable template (https://www.printablemarket.com/shop/editable-save-the-date-template-elegant-black-and-white-wedding-instant-download-printable/) to make my sign that you can print at a store, or with your printer. I spelled out days until I DO. Place your picture in a frame (I removed the glass, my preference).

 

 
2. Using your choice of paper, I used standard kraft paper strips and cut into 2" x 1.5" pieces.

3. Freehand and cut a triangle to create a flag shape. Then, I stacked with another piece as a template to continue cutting the rest of the flags out.

 

 

 

 
4. Secure twine around the picture frame. If there is the hanger on the back of the frame, you can securely knot the twine onto that for better support.

 

 

 
5. Using stickers, add numbers on to each flag. This is for a 9 day countdown. If you want a longer countdown, you'll need extra numbers (0,1,2) for days like "11, 22".

6. Ready to use the number flag to frame and display! Example of how 2 numbers would look.

 
7. Optional: Place the remaining number flags in a small Ziploc bag and clip behind frame to change out the numbers daily.
