This is a replica (a bad one) of the Advent Calendar that we saw in the store..
You will require –
Green and Yellow Chart paper
Stickers or colour pens
Glue
Scissors
This is how we did it.. I sketched the tree and stars… The girls cut the tree and either coloured the decorations on it or stuck… (There was even a Dora tree) *smiles* Number the yellow starts and then stuck them to the tree. Put them together on a string and voila is our ‘Advent Calendar’
I saw this at Rose’s home last year… This is a test run and the ‘joy’ will change to ‘Simone’ in time for her birthday.
All you need is pretty paper, the more colours the better (I used newspaper) – cut into strips & glue. You simply make looks and stick them together, entangled in the earlier loop.
Do you like how it looks in totality??
sooo beautiful... Luv the Xmas tree decor on the stairs... !!! The girls are as talented as you...;-) ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe letter sign made from newspaper loops is such a lovely idea.. (re-cycled art..?!?!?)
So cute!!! I'm blog hopping and found your blog. I'm a new follower! Would love for you to check out my blog and follow back!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I too don't like to buy new stuff every season.... love the pretty trees and the idea of a dora tree. we'd probably have a pokemon/starwars/kungzhu (don't ask!) tree at out place. Have to get the little guy to take a break from his (very busy) social life(!!!) and get his craft on! :)
