Gratitude Calendar DIY

Join us on Instagram and Facebook during November as we unveil daily acts of gratitude and invite you to carry out these acts in your local CommuniTea.

With the holidays approaching, it’s the perfect time to adopt a mindset of gratitude for our daily gifts and a generous spirit toward loved ones in our local CommuniTea.

That’s why we created this do-it-yourself gratitude calendar! It’s easy to assemble and a fun way to engage family, friends — and even strangers — in nurturing gratitude for self, others, and this beautiful planet we inhabit.

Our calendar starts November 1 and goes through Thanksgiving. Make yours any time of the year for the full month, a week — whatever timeframe works. Let’s get started!

✨ ✨ ✨

MATERIALS

• Envelopes and note cards
• Tea bags
• Garland or string
• Clothes pins (or any type of clip)
• Numbered stickers (optional — you can also write on the envelope)

NOTES

• We used these kraft paper envelopes with matching note cards. Any envelope / note card combo large enough to hold a tea bag will do!

ASSEMBLY

Create your list of gratitude acts and write each one on a note card. (Here’s the list we used.) You can also print the cards, but we like the personal touch of hand-writing.

Assemble the envelopes by placing one note card and one tea bag in each envelope, then add a number sticker.

Find a place to display your calendar and securely hang the garland or string. Attach each envelope with a clothes pin or clip.

LET’S CREATE A MOVEMENT OF GRATITUDE!

We’re sharing daily acts of gratitude on Instagram and Facebook starting November 1st!

Please follow along, spread gratitude in your local community, and share using the hashtag #CommuniTeaMatters. Throughout the month we’ll surprise participants with tea-riffic goodies.
