DIY birthday countdown tutorial

Let the birthday excitement begin with a personalized DIY birthday countdown! This creative project is a fun and customizable way to build anticipation leading up to someone’s special day. Similar to an advent calendar, each day, the birthday boy or girl can lift up a flap to reveal a surprise message, gift directions, or clues to a larger present. It’s a cute way to make each day leading to the birthday extra special. You can easily make this paper countdown and customize it. You can adjust the number of flaps, the color of the paper, and what’s hidden beneath each flap.
