Part 15: Advent Chain

I am sure most people in the USA have made a paper advent chain in elementary school. Well, here is one made from ribbon or rick rack ,whichever you choose.

Supplies:

• rick rack or ribbon
• needle / thread / scissors
• fray check
• bell, if desired

Order of events:

1. Cut rick rack into two-inch lengths.
2. Fray check ends of rick rack, and let dry.
3. Curl around finger and stitch.
4. Weave next rick rack inside of first; repeat 3 and 4 to desired length.
5. Add bell at bottom; this helps it to hang a little straighter.
6. Add hanger; done.
