I saw that Bubblyfunk had a challenge this week to make an Advent calendar so I thought I would have a go at making one. If you would like to see some great Advent calendars on the Bubblefunk blog just take a visit tothis site. to get some inspiration.
The first step was to print the numbers off the computer and make the little pockets. I cut the fronts off some old tags that had been lurking for a couple of years. I punched out some small mirror card scalloped squares to back the numbers on and fixed these to the front of the tags. I used oddments of red scrap card to make hinges and I punched out larger square scallops with the same red card for the backs. The picture here shows most of the finished tags.

This is the finished calendar with doors closed.

I was glad when it was finished as it took me the best part of two days to make. It looked really lovely when it was finished but I could not get it to show well on any of the photo's I took. It looks much better in real life.
