This is so simple to make!  I made mine during yesterday’s nap time!

I started with 2 – 1×3″ furring strips from Lowe’s or HD.  These run under $2 a piece.  Here are my dimensions…

For those of you that don’t have a saw…  This is one you need to have.  You can EASILY cut this project and so many others on our site using this.  Cheap and easy… Promise!

That’s a stocking stuffer gals!  Come on… You will thank me!  This is a perfect ‘craft’ saw, and you would be shocked at how many projects you can do with it!

I decided to hang little bags on each of my clips!  I will be filling each bag with small goodies for all the kids…  Fun small candy, stickers, and treats.

For the numbers, I decided to print them on my computer!  I made them printables for you!!

  1. Very cute! But if you’re going by dimensions given, you will need 4, 1×3′ furring strips, with 21″ left over. Think I might try this one this weekend.

  2. What is the distance between the clothes pins? I am not a good guesser, and I am a tad bit obsessive. 🙂 Love the project.

  3. OMGOSH!!!!!!!!! What a WONDERFUL project!! Thank you so much for sharing! You never cease to amaze me with your ideas and talent!

  4. Oh that is SUPER cute!! There’s not much that you make that I don’t find cute though haha! 😉 Thanks for the adorable idea, and have a great Thanksgiving!

  5. What a great idea! I can imagine the anticipation that would build in my kids over the month, so anxious to know what is in each little sack. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

  6. I LOVE this!! Loveitloveitloveit. I think of of it as an advent Christmas Tree. The shape and the top decoration. Definitely. It’s on the list to make.
