How To Make An Advent Pillow

"Learn the easy way to make Advent pillow to count down the days until the holidays! It’s a simple pillow cover with ribbon numbered pockets! My kids love counting down for everything. Anything that is remotely exciting to them gets it’s own hand drawn count down to enjoy. Christmas is no different and even though we have a couple of advent calendars we always use another one. It makes December so fun with each morning filled with moving the piece on each calendar and seeing the special day get closer. This advent calendar pillow is so easy to make since it’s just a pillow cover with ribbon pockets and iron-on vinyl numbers. It’s a quick and easy beginner sewing project that can be played with and decorated with!"
