So, I’ve been reading some awesome crafting blogs lately. I’ve been inspired! I love it when people share their thoughts and ideas on blogs. What a wonderful way to share some great ideas with us lesser crafty folks!
I’ve wanted a Christmas Advent calendar for AGES but couldn’t find one that I really liked until I came across one I loved at Land of Nod. Unfortunately, the picture is no longer available but I basically looked at the picture of it and did my own. Here it is:
A good friend at Church held a crafting activity in which she showed us how to make a Thanksgiving advent calendar. I used the same concept for this one. I embroidered the “Merry Christmas” on a separate piece of felt and then attached it with the snowflake stitch on my machine. I was too nervous to put it on the big piece of felt because it required moving the hoop. I figured if I messed it up on the scrap piece, no big deal. However, it turned out great and it wasn’t crooked!
I had so much fun doing this and my kids just loved getting their candies out of it every day.
