We Are Grateful Thanksgiving Countdown

I feel like this time I year, I focus a lot more on the things that I’m grateful for. I’ve had gratitude journals in the past (I really should start using them again), but this We Are Grateful Thanksgiving Countdown is a really fun, simple way to write down those things that you’re grateful for. I shared this post previously on the Core’dinations blog.

The supplies you’ll need for this project are:

11 x 14 Frame (I used one I got from a thrift store)
Kraft Cardstock
Mini Clothes Pins
White Textured Cardstock
Adhesive
Fine Tip Glue Pen
Jute Twine
Scissors
Cricut Explore Personal Cutting Machine
Masking Tape

Use your Cricut Explore Machine to cut nine small pockets out of the Kraft Cardstock. Use the white textured cardstock to cut out circles with numbers on each of them. I love that I can pull out my Cricut Explore machine and have these done in no time at all. It’s such a fun and easy machine to use. Use your adhesive to put your pockets together, and then adhere the number to the front of the pocket. I love these adhesive runners because they are so easy to use, they hold well, and they are refillable!

Measure your frame, to know the length of jute twine that you’ll need. Cut the twine a little bit longer than the length you’ll need.

Use the masking tape to attach the jute twine to the back of the frame.

Use the Cricut Explore Machine again to cut out the letters “WE ARE GRATEFUL”. With a fine tip glue pen (like this one), glue your letters to your top piece of twine.
