Homemade cute friends advent calendar

Decorate 24 envelopes with our festive face cut-outs and numbers 1-24, for an advent your little ones will love! This calendar is perfect for stashing with sweeties, letters from Father Christmas and fun, festive facts! Add a lovely selfmade Christmas Wreath next to it and you have the perfect Christmas decoration for the whole of December.

2 Glue the festive faces and numbers on to the envelopes. Then leave to dry. Keep some envelopes aside for your own festive decorations!

3 Fill the envelopes with Christmas treats! Chocolate coins and candy canes work particularly well!

4 Seal the envelopes. Then peg your envelopes onto 4 lengths of string roughly 125cm long. Hang from somewhere high, we tied the string around a length of wood and fixed it to the wall!

No pegs? Use blu-tac to stick the envelopes to a wall in neat rows or in a pattern!
