Advent Calendars Craft

Monday, September 29, 2008

It is such a family tradition for so many people to have an advent calendar. But with the cost of everythign going up, so many people are forgoing this tradition. You don't have to. Making one is very easy.

Materials needed:
-- 1 piece of green cardboard (at least 12 inches tall)
-- A spool of red ribbon
-- A red bow
-- Hershey's kisses
-- A glue gun
-- Scissors


First you should search for a Christmas tree template. Take the piece of green cardboard, cutting it into a tree. Once your pattern is cut out, put the red bow at the very top of the tree. Now, take the spool of red ribbon and cut it into 4 to 6-inch lengths and tie them into ribbons. You'll need twenty-four of them for each of the Advent calendars you make. Next use the glue gun to glue 24 ribbons to your calendar. Once that is done, you will want to glue one kiss under each ribbon on the tree. Let it dry overnight.

So what is so perfect about these? Not only are they adorable, and budget friendly. The kids can help make them. And because of the low cost, you can amke one for every member so everyone can have a little kiss that night.
