These are my new Christmas Count Down Loops! As is, each loop is about 2" x 2-1/4" when finished which means you could place little treats in each one or you could use it like a traditional count down and just remove the loops as you go until you are down to Christmas day! The file comes with the scallop loops, the full circles, and the number circles. The number circles are built as cut outs so you don't have to glue each number...which makes this project so much faster! All you have to do is glue the number cut on the full circle and then adhere them to the loop! I used ribbon between my loops to make it a little more elegant, but if you are having the kids put this one together you can simply link the loops together as you go! You could even cut smaller circles to fit the numbers so the numbers are different colors than your outer circle if you wanted! This file is compatible with both the 8x12 and 12x12 mats. You can find additional images and a full tutorial on my blog: http://jamielanedesigns.blogspot.com/2013/11/counting-down-to-christmas.html
