My 2012 Advent Calendar
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my privacy policy.
December 1st is just around the corner so it is time to break out the advent calendar! Â I am super excited about the one we made this year so, without further ado, here is my 2012 Advent Calendar.
I started with 25 little mittens I cut using my Cameo out of shimmery blue scrapbook paper.
I decorated the mittens using a combination of scrapbook paper and washi tape.
I found some adorable little mini clothespins in the Target dollar spot and picked up 25 of them for my calendar.
On black Friday, I grabbed an 18×24 frame that I removed the glass and backing from. Â Then, I spray painted it white.
I hot glued red ribbon to the back and clipped on my mittens.
The countdown is on {or at least it will be come December 1st!}
