Christmas Advent



I've been on the lookout for a good advent. I wanted one that focused on Jesus Christ. I sort of combined 2 ideas. As we've all seen, the felt envelopes numbered for the advent. I hung mine on a ribbon with clothespins because frankly, I ran out of time to sew cute buttons on the back. :)

Then, I found this advent puzzle idea. I am LDS, and it was used in The Friend a few years back. Here it is all ready for you to print! I inserted 1 little scrpiture/activity, and 1 puzzle piece inside each felt envelope.

I really like this advent idea. I love that it focuses on Jesus Christ. I think I'll have to do something similar. Thanks again for the ideas!

Emily,

We are always looking for fun crafters! How would you like to do a craft tutorial on our blog? With over 23,000 page views per month, it's a great way to get some exposure! If you have time...we would love a Halloween craft tutorial for this month. Otherwise, we can put you down for November or December. Just let me know by emailing me at ladies@oneshetwoshe.com

Thanks!
