Bags advent calendar

For the advent calendars of my children I pack small sweets or small toys, Zopfgummis, stickers and so on in sandwich bags. These can also be preferred or painted beforehand.

Then the bags are tied with gift ribbon. Make sure that a sufficiently long band remains on the bag, so between 30 and 80 cm. Now I cut out 24 little stars of gold foil or cardboard. Here the numbers 1 to 24 are written down.

These stars are punched and simply pulled on the long straps on the bags. Now the bags or the ends of the long ribbons are knotted on a stick. This should be at least as long as the nursery door is wide.


I attach these bars to the door frame of the nursery. Be careful not to open the door to the bags, but to the other side.

Now every day the corresponding bag is cut close to the bag and the star knotted.

This will create a great star curtain by 24th December.

My children find it especially funny that we grandees always have to bend over in this time when we want to go to the room!

Also on the wall, the calendar looks great!
