Advent calendar
made a friends young lass an advent calendar with a difference.
using the milk carton die from stamping up i cut out 26 dies
making up the boxes was fun.... by time i got to 24 folding and glueing i had had enough.
in each of the boxes an arrangement of goodies were added. be it money, candy canes, choco balls in puddings, snowballs , snowmen or santas, also used lindet golden bears and bells too.
kept the decorating simple with stickers and die cuts as its for 9 yr old and not sure how long they last. also because it was a last minute idea time was a huge factor!
used the big bite to make holes and used ribbon for few to close the boxes but used mainly brads, this again was due to time factor.
was told the recipient was well impressed and couldnt wait for the morning to open her box!!
that was thanks enough
cant wait to do it again next year but will be more orginised this time. maybe not do a sweetie one but tree hanging bits or gather the trial samples of make up that likes avon do. and hair bits and make it totally girlie.
the ideas are endless. .....
photos will follow
