Christmas Tree Advent Calendar

November 19, 2013 By Shannah Coe 37 Comments

Christmas is my absolutely favorite time of year.  From mid-September, I start dreaming of my Christmas decorations and start to think about what this year’s Advent Calendar will look like.  Last year, our Advent Calendar was a frame with little envelopes for each day.  I wanted to do something a little different this year and, after a brainstorming session with Mathlete, we came with the idea of a Christmas tree Advent Calendar.

My 2012 Advent Calendar

November 28, 2012 By Shannah 28 Comments

December 1st is just around the corner so it is time to break out the advent calendar!  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.  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!}
