Advent calendar with your own hands

With the approach of holidays, I want to please my family and friends more - to give a sense of something magical. Especially strongly this magic pulls to share with children. A festive calendar will help to make special a whole month before the main celebration - just make a little imagination.

So, today we learn how to make an Advent calendar for the New Year with our own hands.

Advent calendar in the technique of self-learning scrapbooking - a master class

Tools and materials are needed:

• paper for scrapbooking, cardboard;
• printout of numbers from 1 to 31;
• beer cardboard, decorative cardboard;
• tape, ornaments, transparent corner for documents;
• Glue, scissors, ruler, eyelets and installer, mock knife;
• sewing machine.

Progress:

1. A transparent corner for documents is cut into pieces of a suitable size.
2. Using a pencil, we make markings on strips, dividing each into five equal parts and gluing decorations.
3. We are decorating ornaments.
4. To get the right size, we glue paper of two different types.
5. Then we sew stripes, dividing into pockets.
6. The title inscription is glued to the substrate and glued at the top of the calendar.
7. The calendar is glued to a base of dense cardboard.
8. In the upper part, in the center, we punched holes, install eyelets and pass the tape.
9. From light cardboard we cut tags according to the number of pockets (on them it will be possible to write gifts for the beloved child) - the size of the tag is 0.5 cm larger than the pockets in height and 1 cm smaller in width.

Such a calendar is sure to please your baby: it is not necessary to give anything expensive, because the most important thing in such a calendar is the expectation of a miracle every day for a whole month.
