The trees are made from felt with gold thread couched onto them (my first attempt at couching) and 24 buttons sewn on. I made our one first out of the lighter coloured felt and a random selection of buttons but I like my second effort better!
Then I made 24 little felt Xs with holes in the middle of them so each day a little decoration is added to the tree.
For the other family I added chocolates to each mesh pocket. Ours have numbered cards with the activity written on the other side of the number.
They are a bit random but I rather like them and I think the boys will like it.
On Tuesday I'll go through some of our advent activities but if you want a list to do something similar leave a comment and I'll email you our list.
