Halloween Advent Calendar
How to make a cute felt calendar to count down the days to Halloween!
Ingredients
- dowel rod
- large piece of felt for banner (I got a half yard at the craft store)
- colored felt for pockets
- embellishments for pockets (I used a lot of buttons, some embroidery, stamps with permanent ink, a bit of paint, and wooden starts.
Instructions
- The first step is to cut out your banner and the 31 pockets. I embellished all the pockets before gluing them down (you can also sew them down, but I just moved and I don’t even know where my sewing machine is at the moment).
- I like to lay them all out and embellish until it feels done. I did a lot of stamped buttons and stars. The buttons are sewn on and the wood stars are glued on.After all the embellishments were done and dry, I used glue on three sides of each piece of felt to create a pocket.
- Next, use glue to create a loop that holds your dowel rod in. Then, tie a string to each side of the rod to hang it on the wall.
