Advent Chain

Here's something that your clients, and their children, can have fun doing. It's inexpensive, Earth-friendly, and it gets you and your shop out there in the community for the holiday season! Hope your customers enjoy this, with best wishes to you and your shop from www.tgtbt.com 

You need:

Construction paper (red and green only, or assorted colors)

Zip-lock baggies

Your shop's business card

The PDF of this Advent poem (1 copy for every Advent Chain Gift you plan to give away. These are designed to become a printed-front-and-back 4-"page" booklet.)

Directions: Cut 24 pieces of construction paper into 1-inch by 6-inch strips* (use red and green paper, or assorted) for 24 links of an Advent chain. Package them in a baggie, along with the Advent poem and your business card, and hand them out to all your customers as a family project. If you want to make it really special, you can add a glue stick, but to keep costs down to basically nothing, just the poem and the strips make a wonderful gift!

Could a gift be any simpler? If you have (or can borrow) a paper-cutter to create the strips, these gifts can be assembled in a snap...

* They used to sell pre-gummed strips for paper chains. If they still do in your area, use them, and you can assemble hundreds of these in an evening!
