Constructing your Snowman Advent Calendar | Daisy's

Were you lucky enough to get hold of the Snowman Advent Calendar from Daisy's Jewels & Crafts? Are you are still on the fence about buying? 
          
These instructions will show you just how easy it is to construct! 
                         
                            
All the pieces have a series of number or letters to make matching up the pieces quick and simple!

So grab your Daisy's MDF Glue or other strong pva and lets get started!

1
How to construct your Snowman Advent Calendar from Daisy's Jewels and Crafts.
Gather all your pieces together.  Sort all the dividing pieces in to 2 piles, one for those marked with numbers and one for those marked with letters.
                 
2
Starting with the Letter pieces.  Slot them into the matching lettered Vertical slots on the back snowman piece, applying glue as you go.  
A close up showing the letter on the tabs matching the letters next to the correct slots!
       
3
Grabbing the Numbered dividing pieces, add these in the matching Horizontal slots, again adding glue as you go.
Close up showing the vertical and horizontal pieces in place.
               
4
In addition to all the pieces in step 1, you'll also have a lot of pieces like these!  These glue together to make the drawers for your advent calendar.
               
5
Now you can finally glue the the front snowman onto the piece and add the base.
NOTE: You may want to first paint the sections before constructing, or before you add the front.  I prefer to do it before adding the front.
