DIY advent calendar

the holidays are right around the corner
and what better time to finish an easy DIY advent calendar...

I was flipping through a catalog of The Land of Nod
and stumbled upon a darling advent calendar...expensive but cute

I decided to try and make one similar myself and this is what I came up with:

all you need is:

felt

fabric glue

sewing needle

and embroidery thread

1. cut a big square in the shape of a house

in forest green felt, attach a black roof and chimney

2. cut each square and different color numbers

(i free-handed this and it was easy, just a little intricate)

3. glue the numbers on the squares

(i did this in no particular order or pattern)

4. lay them all out on your "house"

and embroider around the edges

5. to make my santa, i free-handed his shape too

and then simply glued it to a popsicle stick

this advent calendar is pure felt

cheap, easy and not time-consuming, like some can be

stick some small candies or little pieces of paper with activities

on them for your kids to enjoy each day!
