flip-top jar and pallet advent calendar

sometimes it does not take much to create something beautiful and sonetimes you even have everything you need on hand.

i had a look at my pantry and found enough bottles and jar for an advent calendar and just got started.













 this is what you need



- 24 flip-top bottles and jars

- 24 hooks

- craft paper

- scissors

- 24 gift tags

- yarn

- decoration

- pallet





this is what you have to do


- get your craft paper, your bottles and jars, the craft paper and your scissors ready



- cut 24 pieces in the size of the inside of your bottles and jars



- insert the paper, to hide the content or to use them as coupons



- get your guft tags and your yarn ready, i was lucky to get some numbered gift tags including pre-cut yarn...you might need to number your tags and cut your yarn in 24 small pieces



- attach the yarn to each tag



- attach the tag to your jars and bottles



- hang the bottles and jars onto your pallet or anything else



- if you are using a pallet, you need to be careful, you might need to hang your bottles and jars onto both sides, otherwise he pallet my fall over.



- start decorating the pallet with matching light chains or christmas balls.




and that's it... another simple but yet beautiful advent calendar.

thank you very much for stopping by...best regards...silke
