When I picked Amanda's name at our office Secret Santa, I knew just what I would craft for her. She loves loves loves Christmas AND she has a baby boy due in March. I'd seen these matchbox advent calendars on several blogs and craft sites, and just knew I could make a super cute one for her family of three to enjoy for years to come.
I lined each box with paper, painted the drawers ends white, made ribbon pulls (using Fray Check on the ends; love this product!), filled the drawers with goodies, covered the outside of the boxes with wrapping paper, and embellished with plastic bulbs, a snow-tipped forest tree, and a little deer nestled on reindeer moss. For the numbers, I used an old-fashioned rubber stamp, the kind where you turn a wheel to the numbers you want to print.
Amanda was thrilled. And it was one of the most fun craft projects I've ever done!

What a cute idea! Did your purchase the matchbox thing? Little ones would love the goodies that they find inside! Have a Merry Christmas! Jackie
I know it is rude to ask this....I tell my daughter this all the time...but can I come over to play at your house? It looks like soooo much fun! :)
Love it! So cute and festive :)
What a lovely idea. It would be perfect for someone of any age too!
