YOW! Advent Calendar

YOW! Advent calendar – door number 3

Preparations for 6 December are in full swing!

St Nicholas’s Day is just round the corner – we’ve already got our little bags ready to be filled. There’s no chance of mixing them up.

  1. Get some St Nicholas bags made of jute or felt.
  2. Plot the names onto flock foil, weed the excess and simply stick them on (if using self-adhesive flock) or apply them using a heat press (if using standard flock foil).
  3. Place the bags outside the door and wait…
