if you know us over here at this little house, you know we're a fan of a garland :)

see are most recent ones here and here.

i knew i wanted to make caleb's advent calendar this year, but wasn't sure what i was going do. i then came across the cutest mini numbered pegs which sealed the deal that it would be an advent garland.

i raided my christmas wrapping box for supplies...


and then i got to work...


1. i cut the brown paper into 24 individual strips.


2. folded in half


3. attached festive washi tape either side to create a pocket


4. personalised each pocket with festive words using the letter rubber stamps.


5. filled each pocket with a chocolate treat.


6. attached a length of bakers twine to the wall and then hung each pocket with a numbered peg.

and ta da...


this was so easy to do and is also a great addition to the christmas decorations in our home too, yay!

december we are ready for you!!! :)

  3. This looks so pretty! I have been a complete cop out and bought Cadburys calendars for the kiddies along with the traditional nativity fabric ones up in the loft.
