Advent Calendar Box

Over the course of two workshops (for two weeks) our Ladies created these amazing Advent Calendar boxes. It required lots of measuring, cutting and folding to make 24 small drawers and the frame. Then it was time to decorate: put the numbers on the drawers, cover the base with the light blue card, embellish each side in a different way and, finally, decorate the top of the box. It was all done in stages.
