Now all you will need is some:
1) Layout your burlap ribbon to the length that you want it. You will have to cut the same length twice or three times depending on how wide you want the pocket and how long you want the calendar to be. ** I underestimated the cutting length so I ended up having to add more on the top to fit more pockets.
3) After You will grab a hanger or if you want you can use a rope And you will fold the top of the calendar over it. This makes it very easy for you to hang it any place you'd like.
5) After placing your ribbon where you want it, You will grab the burlap ribbon and measure 3" x 3" For the pocket. To give it kind of a curve that makes it easier for you to take out whatever you put in, I cut a little slip at the bottom, glued each side over each other and created a hump. Repeat this process 22 more times, Then Glue on to the Calendar.
6) Now you will create Two big pockets (3" x 4.5"). Do not worry about creating that hump on the bottom, because these two pockets will be hanging from the calendar. When your pockets are ready, cut a slit... One on each side of the pocket for you to insert regular grosgrain ribbon. Cut it long enough and evenly so that you can glue it to the back of the calendar
7) After all your pockets are created, Grab your nativity set, candy, and trinkets and then randomly place the little figurines in random pockets. I did place Joseph, Mary, and the baby closest to the bottom. The baby was placed in the 25th-day pocket.
And now you're done! Your DIY Advent calendar is complete and your kid is in love! They will be so happy to wake up each morning and see what new surprises are in The pocket. If you choose to, you can put numbers on each pocket so that you know how many days are left until the holidays. We left ours without numbers because we liked the way it looked that way, but I am considering getting some glitter glue or puffy paint to add some popping Numbers!
Are you ready for the holidays?
Will you be heading out to the movies to watch The Star?
