Christmas countdown...advent calendars.

It's kind of inevitable...once Halloween and bonfire night are over, thoughts turn to Christmas....don't they?
They do at Dreams and Wishes!

First up...! Advent calendars...and we're not talking the usual chocolate box versions that are all over the place at the mo...oh no, we're thinking home-made and stylish....

 
How simple is this...twenty-five squares of paper and a few felt-tip pens and the kids can make their own advent calendar....
 
 
 
Pin gift tags to a pin board with your advent gifts....
 
 
 
These gifts look lovely all wrapped in white...
 
 
 
How easy is this...?
It'd take no time at all to stick envelopes to a flat surface...beautiful!
 

 
More ideas with pegs....
 
 
 
Visit your local craft shop...or check online...for small boxes and containers that the kids can decorate ready to stuff full of treats....
 
 
 
Whilst these are made of paper, it would be easy to make reusable pockets from fabric scraps...


 
...just like these....
 
 
 
Take one old wooden coat-hanger and a few hooks....!
Very Scandi-chic!
 
 
 
Here's a great idea to use up all those odd socks loitering around the house....
 
 
 
 
And now for something a little different....if you're looking for a contemporary feel.
