Parchment Advent Calendar for the Christmas Tree

The pattern is by Alison Yeates from quite a while ago.  When the pattern first appeared in the Parchment Magazine - Sept and Oct 2008 -  I made a set for my own tree.  Now, many years later, I have made a set to take down to my sister this year for her tree.
Here it is - in two photos:

They are designed so that you can slip down the coloured interior lining and insert sweeties or somesuch if you wish.  This is why the ribbons are longer and knotted at the top (to prevent it from pulling out of the pyramid).
Each pyramid has two sides with a grid pattern, one side with the image you have chosen and the last side has the day written in gold and a lickle bow.
Looking like this:


I thoroughly enjoyed making them all again.  Just hope my sister likes them too.

  1. Parchment is a craft that I've never tried but if I ever do, you would be my inspiration. You must have such patience Carol as your work is so intricate. I bet your Sister will love them x
