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.
The inspiration for this came from this tutorial!

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!
