I also die cut 24 panels that fold over to make these into cute matchboxes!
I measured the little box so I could print some inserts with the advent activities on them. My kids are on the eastern school cycle which ends in November which means we have ALL of December off. Because of this, I like to create fun activities to do to help fill most of our December days with holiday fun!
I die cut the medallions out of red and folded them and put them together with hot glue.
I then hot glued the medallion on the outside of each matchbox cover and used Tombow Mono glue for the inside insert.
I have a whole pile of Christmas books we put under the tree for reading throughout the month. So a lot of the days have a book activity and some boxes have Christmas movies to watch. I also put in some crafting and baking activities as well as some scripture reading for the Nativity story. I put little treats in too for my kids to unwrap each day.
I strung some twine up on the wall (held with washi tape) and added each box using a miniature clothes pin which were SO adorable I just had to buy them. They are just as cute being used. They do not disappoint!!
Thanks for joining me today. I hope you found some inspiration here and have a great Thanksgiving week!
