Candy Wrapper Advent Tree

A few days ago I told you I had won

the Jolly Bingo Bits Stamp Set (#120857)

at a TOPICS Demo evening.

(To join the TOPICS for 50% off!!!....click HERE)

And, I was so happy because I wanted to use

it on a project I had been working on.

Well.....here is that project......

This uses 55 Candy Wrappers - YES 55!

So, here is the video to make them quickly!!

Candy Wrapper Video HERE

As you can see I stamped each image form the

Jolly Bingo Bits

and punched out with a 1" circle punch and layered

with a 1 1/4" Real Red Circle.

On the back of each is a number....

And this corresponds to each date in December

counting down to

Christmas Day.

My 2 children usually take turns to open

the Advent Calender.

So, along with a little print out of a

Christmas Bible quote (which I rolled up and tied with ribbon),

and a sweet treat (in this case Chocolate),

I'm inserting a little handmade gift.

Now, a girlie gift was easy....

I have made 12 little matching inserts for her

Adorned Charm....

But, I am still stuck on a boy gift....time to get my

thinking cap on!

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Here is a piccie of one the 'Girlie' days...

Ok....so here is what you need!

Candy Wrapper Die (#120890)

Jolly Bingo Bits (#120857)

Card Stock - I used a mixture......

Wild Wasabi (#108641)

Pear Pizzaz (#119795)

Oh!

And

Have a

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thanks for sharing!!! Well done you!! G

Love this idea--but I'm kind of confused at how they pull out the candy wrapper and open the individual days without toppling the tree over? After considering magnetic and velcro backings to stick each wrapper to something individually, I decided it would probably be easiest to put my advent candy wrappers together in a garland (each tied to the next with ribbon) so the kids could just untie the one at the end to open it for each day. Plus, I'm lazy and only have to make 24 wrappers that way...lol.

Kirsteen Commented:

Hi Kimberely!

Each 'layer' of candy wrappers has a 1 1/2" strip of cardstock along the top/bottom of them....some are stuck to it, some not, each 'end' candy wrapper is stuck to that strip of card stock - so you can pull some out, but the others are still stuck in position and so provide the support! Hope that helps you picture what I have done!
