🎨 A Crafting Experience to Treasure

You’ll begin by planning out your 25 little bags — mixing and matching colours, designs and embellishments to make sure every one feels special.

From embroidered numbers and French knots to felt appliqué holly leaves, stars and trees, you’ll explore a variety of creative techniques, with plenty of room to make it your own.

As you work through each step, you’ll see your calendar come together — 25 mini works of art, ready to hang with the golden twine and wooden pegs included in your kit.

Once complete, you can fill each bag with tiny gifts, sweets or little notes for a loved one — a beautiful, reusable advent calendar to enjoy for many Christmases to come. 🎁

🕯️ Relaxing, Joyful & Meaningful

This is a mindful, multi-session project you can make over cosy evenings with a cuppa (or a mulled wine!) in hand.

It’s perfect for anyone who loves to craft — whether you’re a seasoned maker or new to embroidery and feltwork.

You can even get the family involved — children can help plan designs, cut shapes, or choose what goes inside each bag.

Hands-on time for this kit will vary depending on your designs, but we recommend setting aside 4–5 hours or more to enjoy creating your festive heirloom.

💡 Crafting Tips

• Plan how you’ll decorate each bag before you begin, so you can cut all your pieces at once.

• Place a scrap piece of cardboard inside your bag when gluing felt onto it to prevent glue from seeping through.

• When stitching onto your felt pieces, instead of tying knots, place a small dot of glue on thread ends to avoid lumps under the felt.

• This craft kit is not a toy and is not designed for use by children.
