Hoping I get enough traffic here as I've searched high and low on the tinternet

I am wanting to make my children there own advent calendar however all the empty ones I've seen can maybe fit a tiny chocolate in.

I want one big enough to put pens in, bath bombs, that sorta thing.

Any ideas?

I just bought red socks stocked them on to some plain fabric ( obviously one side ) and then used little extras to decorate it , my kids loved them , go to primark for socks they are quite cheap.

In fact going for these. Double up as a decoration!

Brilliant idea paranoiamumma! Have you got a photo?

The kids have their wooden house ones but I’d love to make DH one this year.

I can get one when we turf it out of the attic , my friend did it with a ribbon she used paw patrol socks stuck along a ribbon and bought mini wooden pegs for the numbers and hung it across the wall, I will see if she's got any pics also .

Do any of these links work? I made one of the printed fabric ones it was great and then made my own design so I collected a lot of ideas.
