DAP® OneStik2® Sticky Santa Advent Calendar

Level = Beginner 

Advent calendar will take 1 hour to create and repositionable Santa hat will take 24 hours to dry completely.

YOU WILL NEED:

INSTRUCTIONS:
Tip: Repositionable feature for Santa hat will take 24 hours for adhesive to dry. Make this piece first.

To make Santa hat: Paint, draw, print out, or rubber stamp Santa hat shape onto paper. If possible, laminate this shape, and then cut out. On back, spread out thick layer of One Stik2® Dual Action Adhesive using broad tip of pen. Allow adhesive to dry for 24 hours. Prematurely sticking adhesive will cause failure in repositionable feature adhesive, causing it to adhere permanently to surface.

To make Advent Calendar board: Use paintbrush to cover front side and edges of plywood with red paint and allow to dry. Paint, draw, print out, or rubber stamp numbers one through 25 onto square piece of 10 ½" x 10 ½" paper. If possible, laminate the entire piece of paper. Using One Stik2® Dual Action Adhesive, stick the numbered paper square onto the plywood board (this time, do not wait for adhesive to dry. Applying immediately will activate the permanent feature of the Dual Action Adhesive).

Cut 12" lengths of DAP® StikArounds® Continuous Lines and apply to edges of plywood board. Remove the liner, taking care not to touch the adhesive as fingers may leave an oily residue on the adhesive. Cut the ribbon the same length as the adhesive and firmly press the ribbon over the StikArounds® line.

Cut 2 pieces of 15" ribbon and use StrongStik® to adhere one end of each ribbon to back of plywood. Tie other ends in bow to hang up calendar on wall.

Once One Stik2® on back of Santa hat has had 24 hours to dry (it will still be tacky), it can be stuck and removed to the advent calendar for each day in December until the 25th.

Allow all products to dry completely before using.
