    Advent Gum Packs!

    December 20, 2010 By Brandy 6 Comments

    2 packs of gum and 2 decorated packs of gum
    I made these little gum advent books for my piano students. I have two right now, sisters, who are 13 and 11. They are so sweet and I wanted to make them something instead of just buying candy. Since I didn't have any Christmas card stock I used a girlie theme instead. I hope they like them!

    Each day they can pop out a piece of gum! And what teen or pre-teen doesn't like gum? The foil gum pack slides back into the case. Each book holds 2 foil packs for a total of 24 pieces of gum.

    The book is secured with 2 sets of velcro dots. Each foil pack was wrapped in a piece of cardstock and then glued on a larger piece of cardstock.

      You could even give these to people as a great storage for business cards, those little O.B. tampons, credit cards, money, etc. Great gift idea!
