Materials
A bulletin board and push pins
2 yards of fabric (I used Cozy Indoors in Lime)
felt
scissors
puffy paint (or yarn and a needle for embroidery)
craft glue or hot glue gun
Snow Days kit (already knit up)
candy or toys to stuff the pockets
This was a super easy, no-sew project. If you love to sew, you can attach the pockets by sewing them on, I just glued mine on with some craft glue.
Step 1: Cover your bulletin board with the fabric, pinning it to the board in the back with the pushpins. Trim any excess fabric.
Step 2: Cut your felt into 24 4×4 squares and glue (or sew) them to the covered board. I made 6 rows of 4 across. Only glue 3 of the 4 sides, leaving the top open like a pocket. Let the glue dry.
Step 3: Now comes the fun part- decorating! The knitted lights made a fun hangar but the popcorn garland would have been cute too. If I’d had extra time, I would have knit 24 little sweaters and attached those to the pockets. And of course, Mr. Gingerbread Man wanted to get in on the fun. You can either hot glue the ornaments to the board or you can just pin them into place and move them around all month.
Step 4: Number your pockets. I have a weakness for glitter, so glittery puffy paint was my method of choice. You could also take some extra Palette from the Snow Days kit and embroider or needle felt the numbers on. Anything goes!
Step 5: Stuff the pockets and enjoy! Your little ones (or not-so-little ones) will love getting a little treat each day as Christmas gets closer.
