Bucket-O-Advent

I love Advent calenders.  

Last year I went in search of something different and I decided on buckets. 

I purchased a pack of 25 from eBay.  

We had a lot the paints from our hand made Christmas in 2008.

They came in plain galvanized silver.  

We left 5 of the buckets silver and the others we painted...

white

gold

green

red

We then stuck gold numbers on them (also purchased from eBay)

And strung them on a piece of tartan ribbon.

We did have to individual tie the buckets onto the ribbon to stop them from slipping towards the middle.

This is how they looked last year.

We have moved house twice since last Christmas.

This is where it hangs now in our hallway (mental note to self, next year -radiator covers) ...

What has been your favourite advent calender?
