How to: Make a Typographic Christmas Countdown Calendar

by on Dec 10, 2012

As a kid, I loved making those paper ring garlands to help count down the days to Christmas. They weren’t much, just strips of red and green construction paper, one looped inside another and held together with a swipe of glue stick, but, buddy, I loved the ritual of ripping those suckers off as soon as I woke up every morning.   So this year, I wanted to make something to count down the days, but that would be (one) reusable from year to year, and (two) fit in with my modern meets masculine rustic decor.

Numbers are on brown colored pieces of paper.

So, I came up with this DIY typographic advent calendar, and shared the full how-to on ManMade. Check it out:
