Printable Advent Calendar Pockets – 24 Dated December Illusion Pocket 1 to 24

A different little pocket for every day of December. This Advent Calendar set gives you 24 printable illusion pockets, each one labeled with its own date from December 1 to December 24, in 24 different shapes: an elf shoe, a teapot, a fireplace, a cookie tin, a vintage truck with a sled, a knit stocking and many more. You also get 48 extra fussy cut pieces to tuck inside, like gingerbread cookies, snowflake cookies, a nutcracker, firewood and holiday treats.

The pockets are a smaller, journal-friendly size, arranged 4 to a page on 8 printable pages, so several fit on one spread. Glue them down, fill them with the treats, and open one each day as your Advent countdown. Every pocket is a real, working pocket once glued in place.

What Is An Illusion Pocket?

Each pocket is a printable container with an open top, like a basket, box, bag, tin or stocking. Glue it to your page along the sides and bottom, leave the top open, and it becomes a real working pocket. Tuck the matching fussy cut pieces inside so they peek out over the edge, and it looks like the container is filled with tiny treasures.

How To Use

• Print the pages at home or at your local print shop
• Fussy cut the pockets and the small pieces
• Glue each pocket along the sides and bottom only, keeping the top open
• Slide the pieces inside so they peek out, and swap them anytime

Perfect For
