Homemade Advent Calendar

Hello everyone!

I hope you’re having a good week!

After a crazy busy weekend, I finished the advent calendar that I was making for the children, and ta-daaa!  Here it is in it’s full glory.  I used one of my job lot of large antique frames that I found at a car boot fair (post about some of the frames here) after giving it a coat of paint.   The Range do lots of large frames which you could paint and distress to look older.

I used mini white pegs to hang the little bags I made onto a twine washing line.  A trip to the 99p Store for chocolate coins and stickers to go in each little bag and we’re good to go!  I love the red and white theme, and I’m making some bunting from the same fabrics too for a festive Scandinavian feel.

Once Christmas is over I will use my new frame to display photographs and mementos.

I can’t believe December is just round the corner, I’m really looking forward to sharing lots of festive posts with you!
