Description: Get the free design at jennifermaker.com/holiday-paper-train Dress up a mantel or window sill with this easy-to-make holiday paper train! Counting down the days to Christmas is one of my favorite holiday traditions. And every year I try to come up with a new, fun way to keep the excitement going! Last year I showed you how to make this really cool Santa Countdown sign where you can use chalk markers to count down the days until Christmas. This year I thought it would be fun to make something simple but also interactive that will add a festive touch to any holiday decor, and I’m delighted to introduce the Holiday Paper Train!
