My mother-in-law told me about an advent calendar that uses small children's/infant socks. And then I saw it on Marthastewart.com too. You can tuck a piece of candy or prize in each one. I just gathered up all of their old and too small socks. Their great grandma gave them Christmas socks last year and now they're too small. I fastened them to a ribbon w/mini clothes pins. They love it! I only wish I had a mantle to hang them on. But now Samuel knows exactly how many days are left until Christmas and maybe he'll ask me a little less often.
super cute! i love it! where'd you find the socks? was it expensive to do? i totally want to do it!
ReplyDeleteThe socks are ours. I had to rummage through boxes of their old clothes. Gma Furber gave them the Christmas socks a couple years ago and they're too small now. But they're mostly white and pink bcse I left Sammy's old stuff at my mom's house. So, to answer your question, it's free! I did look at the $ socks at Target and $ stores.
ReplyDeleteI have the mantle, just not the kids to care.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh i love that idea! i am so doing that when kaleb is old enough to understand what the heck is going on! ha ha. cute hannah very cute.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteOh, and yes, I made the pirate costume. It was really easy, though I hadn't sewn in a long time. I think it turned out great and he still uses it for dress up--plus his Grumpy costume. It was worth it.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute!
