How to Assemble Your Tearaway Countdown

One PDF, four simple steps — design it, print it, cut it apart, and hang it up.


1. Design your countdown

Designing a countdown calendar on the homepage

Enter your event name and date on the homepage. Pick a theme (optional) and preview your cards before downloading.

2. Print your PDF

Printing the countdown calendar PDF

Download the PDF. Print at 100%/actual size — no "fit to page," or cut/punch marks won’t line up. Single-sided.

3. Cut & punch

Cutting and punching the countdown calendar cards

Cut along the dashed lines to separate each day into a card. Punch a hole where marked on each card.

4. String & hang

Stringing and hanging the countdown calendar cards

Thread ribbon/string/twine through the holes in order, furthest day to the big day. Tie off both ends. Hang somewhere visible; tear off one card a day.


What you'll need

Printer + paper, scissors or paper trimmer, hole punch, string/ribbon/twine.
