Good Morning Roadies! It's December and that means the holidays are not far away!! I've had this idea in my head since last year and have finally gotten around to getting it done. It is HUGE! I love how it came out.
I started by spray painting the 4" bottle caps a dark metallic color. I then tied all the bottle caps together to create my base. Because it is so larger I thought it would be best to use a dowel at the top to hang the calendar from.
For the inside of each bottle cap I created a pocket from card stock to hold the candy for that day. I added some punched snowflakes layered with chipboard snowflakes. I finished them off with bingo numbers for each day. I ended up painting each number dark brown to match!

Absolutely gorgeous! Did you use the crop-a-dile to punch holes in the caps to tie them together?

hey Slammie, yep! mark with a sharpie then punch away. The key is to punch on the raised part not the indents. If that makes sense lol
