Art Every Day Twenty Eight • Advent Calendar Project





 Counting down the days till Christmas. 
Advent calendars offer surprises and treats everyday. 
What fun for the kids and for us as well. 




I bought ready made bags at our local craft store, they are available in all different colors. Buy a few more than you need to allow for mistakes. Cut decorative papers into circle, square and rectangle shapes. For the numbers you can use rubber stamps. Glue or stamp your design directly onto the small paper bag.


Can't wait to see how it all turns out when I am done.
