Christmas Advent Calendar #2

I thought I would do another post of the Christmas Advent Calendar with some better pictures and instructions to answer some questions. The tin is a 24 mini muffin tin that I bought at Wal*Mart for around $9 (I know they now have some on sale right now for $4.50) I used 24 different christmas patterned paper for each square and cut them into 2 1/4" squares and mounted them onto different colored cardstock cut into 2 1/2" squares. The numbers were cut using black cardstock with the Cuttin' Up Cricut cartridge (you could just use number stickers or something else if you don't have a cricut.) I bought a big roll of magnet at Wal*Mart also and cut small pieces and put on each corner of the squares. Then from there it is just embellishing each one to your liking. Most of the embellishments where bought at Hobby Lobby, Wal*Mart and JoAnn's. Good Luck!
