โœจ The Sugar Tote may be festive, but it's definite โœจ The Sugar Tote may be festive, but it's definitely not just for Christmas!

Fill it with jewellery, nail polish, earbuds, sewing notions, perfume, dried lavender, sweet treats, or clip it onto a larger tote as a cute bag charm. The possibilities are endless.

There's something extra special about counting dow There's something extra special about counting down to Christmas with little handmade surprises. ๐ŸŽ„โœจ

In today's reel, I'm transforming the Sugar Totes into a festive advent calendar using simple self-cover buttons and heat transfer vinyl numbers.

Here's how I made them:

ย ๐ŸŽ Cover 22mm metal self-cover buttons with natural linen
ย ๐ŸŽ Cut numbers from black heat transfer vinyl (Arial Rounded MT Bold, 42pt)
ย ๐ŸŽ Make the buttons first, then carefully apply the numbers using an iron on medium heat
ย ๐ŸŽ Attach the numbered buttons to the totes

The Sugar Totes are the perfect size for little treats, chocolates, notes, sewing goodies or other small surprises to open each day in the lead-up to Christmas.

Best of all, the Sugar Totes are included in the Christmas Cheer Bundle, packed full of festive sewing projects. Sugar Totes are exclusive to the bundle and not available elsewhere.

โฐ The bundle closes 10 November, so don't miss out!
