It is my turn today to provide the project and I have made this advent tree, the little hanging cones have sweets inside, yummy - and yes of course I had to sample them and they are rather delicious!! The advent tree was super easy and cheap to make and is great for using up all those odd scraps of papers, I even recycled some old wallpaper samples for some of the cones. I have made a quick tutorial here.
The twigs are from a very bare looking shrub in my garden! I am entering this into the following challenges:
Sir Stampalot - Christmas Traditions, you can't get more traditional than an advent calendar!
Let's ink it up! - Recycling - just about eveerything on here is recycled (apart from the sweets lol)
Something Completely Different - Numbers!
