Denim Advent Calendar
November 30, 2010 by Bobbi
Supplies & Materials
24 denim pockets cut from 12 pair of baby jeans
(I think the tiny pockets work best but any size will do.)
Hot glue
Number stamps
White acrylic craft paintStep 1
Number the pockets 1 through 24.
Just gently dab your stamp into the white craft paint and press onto the pocket.
Let dry for a few minutes.
Step Two
Flip the pockets over.
Starting with number 1, add a strip of hot glue to the back, and press rope into place.
Be sure to work from RIGHT to LEFT.
Step 3
Hang it up, fill each pocket with a small treat, and enjoy counting down the days til’ Christmas.
It’s a simple and chic calendar, and perhaps a great way to repurpose those jeans that you just can’t let go of into something that will be enjoyed for years to come.
