Make a Recycled Snowmen Advent Calendar
by rhonda
They say a fool and his money are easily parted. Count me as a fool then, because I have a complete inability to resist cute toys in quarter machines. I figure, if I'm going to make such impulse buys, better to spend 50 cents than 50 dollars, right? (I have a friend who is addicted to handbags, so it could definitely be worse!) I have a hoard of little plastic capsules from my tiny toy collection that I hang onto because, well, you know... Anyway, Nikki from Whimsy Love used some of them to create a clever snowmen advent garland, with each of the 24 bubbles containing a fun surprise for the holiday countdown. And if you go out and pump a bunch of quarters into a machine to get all of the capsules you need, they come pre-filled with goodies! [how to make a recycled snowmen advent calendar]
Project estimate:
- Plastic quarter machine capsules, on hand or about $12
- Drill, on hand
- String, on hand
- Paint, on hand
- Felt, on hand
- Pom poms, on hand
- Small prizes, on hand or $1 and up
Total: Free and up
Now this is totally adorable….seriously! :)
that is an awesome idea!! and I love that they already come with a goodie that fits perfectly inside!!! I LOVE this idea! thanks for sharing!
The. Cutest. Snowmen!
ok THAT is adorable!
Ha, what a cute and fun idea!
If these aren’t the cutest thing! Saving my quarters now.
Okay, and if you DON’T want any tiny toys flaoting around the house…just go buy knee-hi stockings! Walgreens and Walmart both sell them in these containers. :-)
