Did you know that Santa would come to give gifts in Greece on the first of the new year, and not on December 25th?
So since I am in the process of making a new advent calendar for the kids I have to make 31 days… the whole month of December. And that’s a lot of work!
This is what I’ve made last year.
Every little box is made by me. It took me the whole November to finish it. It was a great success, the kids loved it but now lies in the basement.
So this year I am doing something else. I just got these 30 favor tins and also I got a stack of very strong little magnets (neodymium magnets are the strongest you can get). I am planning to decorate each tin and then use the magnets to stick them on a decorated tin panel.
Day 31 has no tin, just a small message saying that Santa will bring today’s treat tonight. LOL 🙂
I have to finish by the end of the week and fill them with little treats. So I’ll take photos though out the process and let you know how it’s going. I love making it! I am so excited!
Wow beautiful advent calendar so cute i love it
Love your advent calendar- wow! That was a lot of work. Great idea for the tins, too! You are so creative!
