   Advent calendar ideas Posted by Jo

This week we are going to share two new Advent calendar ideas with you. Chica and I love coming up with fun, new Advent ideas each year! We also wanted to take a moment to remind you of the ones we have done in years past.

GRINCH ADVENT CALENDAR
My favorite advent calendar we made is a Grinch themed one out of a shoe organizer. It’s an easy project but to make this even easier on you, we have added a free download of the story for you to use for personal use only. Check out the full tutorial for step-by-step instructions.

CLOTHES PIN WREATH
For this one, we used clothes pins and a wire wreath frame. You’ll have to visit our friend Crafty Chica‘s site for the project details, though. She asked us to be guest bloggers on her site and we of course jumped at the opportunity to share a project with her and her readers. So go check out our tutorial on her site!

POLYMER CLAY ADVENT HOUSE
Last, but certainly not least, our labor of love polymer clay houses. Our tutorial gives more pictures and tips for making each piece.
