Advent Tea Calendar

This was an advent tea calendar I made as part of a Swap-bot swap at the end of last year. It has 24 'doors', each with a different type of tea (actually I think it was 12 pairs, so maybe not all different) behind, one to open on each day of the month leading up til Christmas. Each door is pierced on three sides and hinged on one side so it opens like a flap. The back is all enclosed so you can't see the tea until you open that door's day.

This was actually more complicated than I thought it was going to be, because unless I made it MASSIVE, the teas were going to overlap, so how could I create separate sections for each day and not end up with tea falling out of the wrong doors or cascading down to the bottom of the calendar? In the end I used paper to make a little "pocket" for each door so they were all separate. All the paper pockets and tape aren't visible from the outside - the back is just a plain piece of card (either red or green, I can't remember now).

I found this in my Sta.sh. I'm terrible at uploading things! Finally submitted to dA on 20 June 2012.
