<p>It&acute;s mid-November. Gosh! Time to start planning Advent, our favourite time of the year. We wanted to make a long lasting Advent Calendar. We&acute;ve created a scene where two kids are jumping up to reach the presents. This is an easy and inexpensive project. Bring your kids along, and we&acute;re sure your calender will look fabolous!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p><strong>You&acute;ll need</strong><br /> A large piece of fabric. We used linen.<br />Felt<br />Textile glue<br />Small plastic rings<br />Scissors<br />Needle<br />Thread<br />Black pen<br />Sequins<br /> <br /><strong>How you&acute;ll do it</strong><br />Start sewing the edges around the calender. Tuck them in and sew, preferably using a sewing machine.<br /> <span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="../../storage/gavedryss-julekalender/xmas_calendar.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1257966785354" alt="" /></span></span>Use the scissors to make your motives. Use the textile glue and place your figures where you&acute;ll like. Make a pen/marker to draw the eyes.<br /> <span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="../../storage/gavedryss-julekalender/xmascalendar.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1257967062572" alt="" /></span></span>When it comes to the landscape, it&acute;s important that the pieces goes all the way to the bottom and to the sides to avoid funny dents.Make as many valleys and mountains you&acute;d like.<br /> <span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="../../storage/gavedryss-julekalender/kalender.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1257967189791" alt="" /></span></span>Use some glue to put some sequins on your piece to create a snow effect.<br /> <span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="../../storage/gavedryss-julekalender/xmascalendar.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1257967255287" alt="" /></span></span>Sew the small rings on to the calendar, 24 in total. Use white thread. <br /> <span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="../../storage/gavedryss-julekalender/julekalender_close.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1257967344090" alt="" /></span></span>Make some pressies and write numbers on them.<br />Yey! We&acute;re looking forward to December 1st now!</p>]]></content></entry></feed>
