This year I have made and presented a selection of videos for the December issue of Red Magazine, you can find them online direct here, or follow the below instructions.
This easy to make calendar, is great project
to do with the kids to get them into the Christmas spirit. Decorate each
envelope differently with paper cut outs, buttons and ribbons, every envelope can
be filled with any treat you like, yum!

24 or 25 small C7 envelope’s, in red white
and green
2 x sheets of white A4 card
Number stamps & ink, pen or printer
Scraps of patterned paper
Ribbons & trims
Festive shape punches, optional
1.5m – 2m length of ribbon, to hang

METHOD
Select 24 or 25 small envelopes in varying
seasonal colours. (Depending if you want to go up to Christmas day or Christmas
eve).
Using the white card as a base, you can
either use a number stamp, hand write or print out your day numbers.
Decorate each envelope with different collage
techniques such as paper cuttings, stickers, stamps, buttons and feathers
decorate each day as you wish.
Measure where you want to hang the calendar,
and cut a length of ribbon to size.
With miniature clothes pegs or paper clips,
attach each day in order to your ribbon.
