Looking for a quick way to make an Advent calendar, to count down the days to Christmas?
Fancy up a 24-pocket shoe organizer — the kind that’s made to hang on the back of a closet door — with iron-on fabric appliques, tinsel and glitter, Christmas scrapbooking stickers, festive red and green bows, or tiny Christmas ornaments.
A number on each pocket will mark the days, and you can slip a small surprise gift or treat into each pocket.
When the holidays are over, put the shoe organizer to work as a shoe organizer… or use the pockets to sort and tidy away all those small toys and craft supplies. Next year, just pull it out and decorate it up to serve as an Advent calendar again!
