Advent Calendar Finished
Pockets with numbers printed on canvas cloth |
Stitched with green rick rack edging and red polar fleece (originally 'red carpet' from Pip's birthday party) |
Rick rack edge - the pockets were really thick to sew - next time I won't use this method to sew one up... |
Added little dolphin beads to each pocket so that... |
After the verse (printables from here) is taken out of the pocket and read, the dolphins jump through the hole punched 'hoops' to secure it to the front. |
Closer look at the dolphins (I had 4 colours - they were leftover from a previous beading endeavour) |
Idea is so that once all 24 cards are read, you can read the whole Christmas story on Christmas Day. |
All set for Dec 1! |
that looks lovely, what a great idea...
