POLOKWANE – All you will need is some creative thinking.
You will need:
• 24-hole mini muffin tin.
• Drill (optional).
• 6 x A4 sheets of sturdy card in various colours, or use white card and paint it yourself.
• Gifts for each day – they need to be small enough to fit in the mini muffin holes.
• Double-sided sticky tape or glue dots.
• Ribbon, for hanging (optional).
How to:
• If you want to string your advent calendar from a wall, drill a hole in one end of the tin.
• Cut the card into 24 circles, big enough to just cover the holes of the muffin tin. Use pens, paint or cut-out coloured paper to decorate the circles with the numbers 1 to 24. Use a little tape or a glue dot to secure a gift in each hole – wrap the gifts in foil or tissue paper if not already covered. Use a little more sticky tape to secure the numbers over the holes, in a random order. If hanging from a wall, tie a ribbon through the drilled hole in the top of the tin.
Now go and count down the days till Christmas and have a blessed one with your family.
