ADVENT CALENDAR INSPIRATION
I was inspired to crochet this Advent Calendar from the one my mom had made when I was a kid! She had sewn a tree wall hanging and stuck 25 little baggies on it with velcro. Inside the bags were little toys and characters and ornaments made from felt. Every December 1 she would hang it up and my sisters and I would take turns opening up one of the baggies, choosing one a day until Christmas. We looked forward to this every year and the excitement and anticipation we felt was incredible!
We each had our favorite pieces we had hoped to pick and felt pure joy with every new addition we got to stick on the tree. We looked forward to this every year throughout our childhood and it’s still one of my favorite Christmastime memories.
Since having my daughter, I have always wanted to make her an Advent Calendar, so that she could experience the same joy and happy memories that I had. So I designed this crochet Advent Calendar!
HOW TO USE THE ADVENT CALENDAR
Hang up your tree wall hanging and place all 25 of the appliqués into the pouch. Starting on December 1, choose one appliqué and hang it on the tree. The last appliqué will be placed on December 25.
The intended purpose of the Advent Calendar is to be a countdown to Christmas, but it doesn’t have to be! Hang the tree wall hanging up any time and let your kids decorate it however they like as a fun winter and Christmas activity! Let them place, remove, change the decorations however they like, with no limits or countdowns.
You can also make and use the pieces of the Advent Calendar separately! Use the Tree Wall Hanging as a year round wall decoration, use the pouch for gifts, and sew the appliqués on other projects or to hang on your Christmas tree!
