Advent Calendar ~ Customize and Use Yearly - Made In Maine

Based on the countdown ribbon my grandmother made for me when I was a child, these re-usable Advent calendars are so much fun, and more economical than buying a new branded calendar every year! Each is made from a green felt ribbon over three feet (over a meter) long, with 24 red and silver ribbons to tie treats onto, a fun poem at the top, and a colorful jingle bell (color may vary) at the bottom. Simply choose some lightweight treats and tie one onto each ribbon.  Each day, your loved one gets to take off the highest treat, making their way closer to Christmas in a fun way.  Silver ribbons mark 3 weeks, 2 weeks, and 1 week til Christmas to build the excitement even more. Treat ideas: Depending on who you're giving it to, kids love candies tied onto the ribbons, or Mini Whinnies, Pocket Box blind bags, or LEGO Minifigures (Punch a hole in one corner of blind bags for easy tying).  Adults love all of those, or perhaps lottery scratch tickets, little scrolls containing love notes...
