Silver Plate Tray Advent Calendar

"I turned this vintage silver plate tray into an advent calendar using magnets, vintage gold buttons, old necklaces and adhesive rhinestones. Since silver plate isn't magnetic, I put a piece of sheet metal I got at the hardware store, then the magnets stuck! You need 25 magnets for the front of the advent calendar and 25 magnets for the back side. This craft is really easy and makes a really pretty piece of Christmas décor to bring out year after year."

Materials List

• silver plate tray
• magnets
• free printables
• glitter glue
• sheet metal that is magnetic
