This bell-shaped advent calendar is not new - in fact it has served for many years since I made it for my daughters who are now in their twenties. Various little items have been found in the pockets - hair baubles, little toys, pens, felt tips, craft items, occasionally also sweets. The bell also moved with our family many times, both in Ireland and in Finland.
The calendar has quilted fabric as backing to make is stiffer. It is 87 cm high (34 in). I tack it on a wall with 3 tiny nails.
The pockets and the bow at the top are made of various Christmas fabrics. The numbers are glitter glue.
This year the bell might be passed on to the next generation! That was already planned last year but we never got round to it.
