Pootles’ Super Amazing Enormous Giveaway and Competition 2018 Details HERE

It’s here, it’s here!

No, not Christmas (that’s still a few weeks off) but this year’s Pootles Advent Countdown series has officially started today!

If you’re not familiar with this, it’s a series of 24 video projects that come out every Monday and Wednesday right through and into December. It’s a variation of projects – treats, gifts, packaging, and more. This is my 6th year of doing it and that’s a lot of festive projects!  The past years projects are all in categories so have a look at the side of the blog (bottom if you’re on mobile) and you’ll see them listed there.

But on with today’s project, well, we have to start with an Advent Calendar really….

I’ve done lots in the past and decided that this year I’d give you options.

The project itself is super simple to make, and you then have the option to perhaps hang them all in a line, or lines. Maybe mount them to a board. Or just leave them loose stacked in a box.

And as promised in the video, here’s a list of things you may want to add to your Activity Advent Calendar!

1. Make paperchains (2×12 scrapbook paper strips and double sided tape)
2. Make snowglobes (these were jars, dolls house trees and epsom salts, no actual liquid)
3. Make Bunting (DSP cut into triangles, stuck to raffia twine)
4. Enjoy a twinkling light bath
