I came across these ideas from Houzz.com which you should check out for ideas on any thing to do with decorating/interior design/architecture. It’s one of my favourite sites!
I particularly liked the Advent Calendar they have featured here constructed from popsicle sticks, ribbon and paper. Easy, but time consuming (a great Sunday morning project with your kids). The best part is it’s reusable and each box houses a beautiful piece of chocolate…make that dark chocolate for me please!
So give it a go…click on this link to get started. Have fun!
