Mini Advent Calendar Tutorial


Make a set of numbers 1 -24 on computer - I used Publisher (e-mail me and I will send you copy if you would like)

Then make the base



I hope the picture helps rather than me write a whole stream of instructions

Cut main piece of card (blue) to measure 9cm x 6.5 cm, back it on silver card, add white glitter card for snow and a bow.



Make smaller square that will be the base to put your numbers on, edge with silver card agian, if you wish.


Stick into position.


Clip numbers together with a small bulldog clip and decorated with scraps of matching ribbon.


Add a few white dots here and there .... and add an embellishment of your choice, I've used a button snowman.

Finally stick a magnet on the back (A4 magnetic foam sheets available from Hobbycraft)

Thats it! I made about 20 of these last year - a lot of mums sent them to their kids at uni !!!

I love the reindeer flannels - i am definitely going to have at go at those!
I think Ill be selling these bits & bobs at the school fayre, to raise funds for school! What do people think price wise for Snowman soup, reindeer food, the flannel reindeers etc - dont want to over price and be left with it but it has to be worth it once you've bought the stuff does it!
I dont think Ill be making anything tonight - my two year old dragged me downstairs at precisely 3.52am this morning, hence the early start, so will be seriously dragging my heels by aout 7pm Id have thought!!!!

I'm off today, so intend to spend the day crafting, making some more kitchen organisers, and starting some sweet bag toppers.

Quick question though. If I want to sell the sweet bags, do I need to list the ingredients on the back of the topper? I noticed that some one listed the ingredients of soap, so wondered if this applied to sweets.

Thanks

Mine are still fresh and I did 20 about 4 weeks ago - I think if you seal well enough you will be okay!
Reindeer food - do you just use porridge oats/glitter/hundreds & thousands - they are my next project!
Im just waiting for my Big Shot and the dies for the toppers!!
