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!
Welcome! I'm Brandy, mother to 5 darling kiddos and a cute black lab named Toby. My husband is in the Coast Guard so we've lived all over the place, turning each house into a home. I love baking, sewing, making cute things with my kids, and sharing what I've learned with all of you!
What a great blog! I just found out about it last night. The gum pack advent calendar is darling.I will have to do these for my nieces and nephew as soon as they are old enough to chew gum!
Also love the advent calendar with the candy containers…I have been looking for a cute one…
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!
These are so great. I love them!!
