=> as per text on the picture it should come from umla.tumblr.com but I didn’t found it there
Isn’t this cute? Simply sew one more button every day on the pocket and the button Advent calendar is completed ;-)
It would be still more interesting for the recipient if the days were not in order, they would have to count many, many buttons every day ;-))
Hm, and you could make the thing also with beads, then even smaller (for those who don’t want to have too much in their Advent calendar).

I’ve seen a tutorial for a cute gift wrapping from woven Space invaders and thought immediately: it must be possible to decorate an Advent calendar with them!
It is ;-)
For the number I used paper from an Christmas ad and for the background plain printer paper.
Here you have all numbers, enjoy :))

This year again I want to present a Lace Knitter’s Advent Calendar.
On November, 15 there will be an announcement for you to decide whether you want to knit it and what material you’d need.
Be exited about ;-))
Well, the knitted polymer clay heart looks great, doesn’t it?
And the best: you don’t have to know how to knit to make it ;-))
I imagine it nice as decoration for the Christmas tree.

If you need a greeting card quick best make it yourself :)
I simply coloured the picture in orange: your quick greeting card for Halloween could look like this ;-)

Ok, it’s still some time until Advent, but you may want to practice a little before!?
I have seen this Advent Calendar mould for pralinées, where you cast in chocolate yourself.
Here you can already buy ready-made Advent calendars in the supermarkets, some are very inexpensive, why shouldn’t you take one of those, take away the cheap chocolate and fill again with the preferred chocolate of the addressee, e.g. dark chocolate?
I haven’t tried it yet, but I think that I will ;-)
