A quick 30-minute Christmas Countdown Charger is the perfect DIY project for your family this Christmas. #Christmas #diy #calendar

Loving this super cute Christmas Countdown Chalkboard Charger, I made a few years ago and thought I would share it with you. It’s super cute, and a fun project for the kiddos to join in. Check out how I made this Christmas Countdown Chalkboard Charger Project in just a few simple steps. It even has some pretty blue glitter flakes! Total project time: 30 minutes.

Christmas Countdown Chalkboard Charger

Before we get started, I wanted to share with you the Michaels store inspiration for my project. I was part of a team of bloggers who worked with Michaels Stores when I created this project a few years back. We had to choose a plan and then make it our own. Below was my inspiration.

I loved how cool this was, and how simple of a project this was for anyone to do. It is an easy beginner project and only takes about 30 minutes to complete the project from start to finish.

How to Make a Christmas Countdown Chalkboard Charger

To do my project, I decided to change things up just a bit. Here is what you are going to need for this project:

  • charger
  • chalkboard paint
  • Mod Podge
  • a bag of ornament flakes

The first step in this project is to add your chalkboard paint to the charger. Just tape off the edges of the plate and then carefully apply your chalkboard paint. Allow drying.

Once the chalkboard paint is dry, it’s time to add the flakes! Grab the Mod Podge and place a good, thick coat onto the edges of the plate.

Then take the bag of ornament flakes and place them all of the edges. (Make sure you are working on a covered surface, or you will have ornament flakes everywhere.) I put my project on a trash bag, and when I was done with the leftover flakes, I just transferred them back to the original container for later use.

Once that is finished, prime your chalkboard surface with chalk, wipe with a dry towel, and then you are ready to use your DIY Christmas Countdown Chalkboard Charger.

    This would be so pretty as a place setting! You could write each guests name on their individual plate as a seating card! Love it!

    So pretty!! And of course Scarlet asks me every day how many days there are until Christmas. So we need a countdown so she can see for herself!

    I love this idea! The kids can just look at the plate instead of asking me how many more days until Christmas. Brilliant!
