If December 1st caught you off-guard, here is the most perfect advent count-down project to do with the kids (that you can start anytime!). 

Felt Advent Chain by Psalms of Psalms.

supplies needed:
wool or craft felt
'sew on' velcro
scissors
sewing machine

1. take the felt (i used wool felt because i like the feel of it better) & cut it into 24  two inch by nine inch strips.

2. cut the velro into two inch strips to fit the ends of the felt and sew them on.

3. connect them all together like a chain and hang them in a door way, near your fireplace, or anywhere you like.

4. starting the first of december (or the 5th!) detach one of the felt pieces, counting down everyday until it is christmas.

5. when Christmas is over, pack it away and reuse it next year......
