Adorable Felt Advent Calendar Easy to Make

The holidays are quickly approaching and it’s time to create a little homemade goodness. It’s no secret I love felt and I am always looking for a way to use it in my projects.

It’s not too big and not too small…it’s just right for little treasures, candy, or even gift cards. I made a few extra felt pockets to top off some Christmas gifts this year. You can use all your pockets at once or hang 5 or 10 and keep the rest in a bowl nearby.

Let’s do this…

Materials:

• Wool Felt
• Ribbon
• Kraft and scrapbook paper of your choice
• Mini clothes pins

I’m sure you have most of what you need at home already.

My Favorite Sewing Tools

• Omnigrid Fold-Away Portable Cutting and Pressing Station
• Fabric shears
• Rotary Cutter
• Magic Clips

• Start by cutting your felt into strips – 3 1/2” x 8 1/2”
• Round the corners on one end {shown in the photo above}
• Fold the bottom up so the pocket measures about 3 1/2” x 5”
• Sew around the outside as close to the edge as possible
• Cut two circles and glue them together to create a number tag {1 1/2” total}
• Use a hole punch to create two holes on the front of the pocket and one on the flap for your ribbon
• Run your ribbon through the holes from the inside and tie your tag on

Now you have sweet little Advent Calendar pockets that will keep little hands out {maybe}.

I thought about adding some big polka dots or silhouettes of Santa on them…get creative and have fun creating a family tradition.

Just use the adorable mini clothes pins and clip them to your ribbon.
