The star/tree number set only had 24 numbers and my calendar had 25 boxes. So I took a number sticker and put the number 25 on top of a Santa hat. The Santa Hats and Gingerbread Men were just parts of a Christmas accessories sets I found at our local craft store.
The Merry Christmas box on top is from the dollar store. It is about 2 1/4" square. I put a piece of cardstock on the bottom and glued it. Then once dry, I glued the whole present base to the top of the Advent Calendar. That way I had more area to glue and secure.
I did find that the FSJ Journey Glaze was an amazing glaze to use to adhere the felt stars and trees to the ribbon. I used double sided 1/2" Scor-Pal Tape to adhere the ribbon to the boxes.
Have you made an Advent Calendar before? What type of goodies do you typically put inside? I think we are going to use Andes Mints. If we had small children, it would be fun to put something different in each box.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today.
