I made a couple of Advent Calendars from Mini Muffin Tins! What fun they were. I originally had just made one but the gal who bought it wanted another one for her other grandchild. So I improved on the original!
I got the tins at Walmart. The red and green paper is cut to 1 1/4" square. Layer on those squares, the large scallop circles. Then punch designer paper in 1 3/4" circles and layer them onto the scallops. Then I just typed 1-24 on my word processing program in a font I liked, printed them out onto white cardstock, and punched them out with the 3/4" punch. On the back of the red and green squares, I glued think magnets. The magnets were a real find! A few years ago, Ashley was cleaning out her desk and had about 100 of these refrigerator magnets she'd gotten from a drug rep or something. Anyway, I don't like to throw anything away so I took them. It's amazing how often I've used those little magnets. They have been a real find!
