Free Printable Candy Advent Calendar

I used a sheet metal shingle I got at Ace Hardware because it costs less that $2.00. All you do is print out the advent calendar, use glue stick to adhere it to the shingle, put a hanger on the shingle and put magnets on the backs of wrapper peppermints! EASY!"
