In 2010 I came across this DIY Advent Bag Project that captured my heart and a year later I attempted to replicate it. Unfortunately the project totally failed. I think the problem was that the bags were way too big. I couldn't find a spot to hang them all and secondly, the bags were so big that little treats got lost. In the end I felt that the size of the bag was the issue.  So this year I've tackled new advent bags using small mini drawstring cotton bags. Much more manageable.  The size makes it way easier to find a spot to hang them and you can fit little itty bitty treats in.

If you'd like to make your own you can download and print off your own numbers. I've created a free printable for you. There are two pages - one with candy colour numbers (shown above) and then a second page with more classic colours. Follow the instructions that come with the iron on transfer paper packaging, but don't forget to select mirror when you're printing the page. If you just print it "as is" it will be backwards when you iron it on.
