I bought the supplies for the advent calendar and it cost me $21, I really did not think that was too bad. The supplies that I bought consisted of:
1 pack multi-color pipe cleaners
10 squares of different colored felt
1 package of green felt used for table toppers so it is one solid piece
1 package wiggle eyes (the smallest size)
1 package pom poms black (the smallest size)
I had also picked up a package of white but I guess Lani dropped them out of the buggy because they did not make it home.
1 20X30 white board (it is like poster board except it is about 1/4 inch thick so it has some stability to it
I had my daughter’s boyfriend draw me a “Charlie Brown” Christmas tree on the board and I cut it out with a utility knife.
I also have random ribbon, foam board, glue, embroidery thread, buttons, fabrics and stuffing. I will let you know exactly what I use for each piece but just because I did not buy it does not mean I will not use it. Look through your sewing stuff and get creative. This is something hopefully you and your family will enjoy for a long time. Make it yours, give it your own touch and have fun.
Keep checking back because as I complete something I will post the directions, materials and picture. I hope you will join me on this project.
