Sausagedog Advent
Feliz Navidackel! Short legs, long Christmas countdown! Our DIY dachshund has gone the extra mile (or rather, the extra inch) this year – after all, those 24 little surprises need to fit somewhere!
With lots of paper, a whole lot of dachshund love and a little crafting magic, this four-legged friend turns into the cutest Advent companion.
And seriously, who needs a sleigh when you‘ve got a Christmas dachshund?
Gather 16 large and 9 small matchboxes. Cover the outside of each matchbox and each inner drawer with brown construction paper. Use a darker shade of brown for four of the small matchboxes to make the ears.
Start by gluing the body together and let everything dry completely.
Next, attach the ears to the head and let the glue dry.
Cut out two eyes, a little snout and two cheeks from construction paper and glue them in place.
Now glue the head onto the body and add the dachshunds four little legs and tail. Let everything dry completely.
Finally, grab your favourite pen and write the numbers 1 to 24 on the matchboxes.
Want to give your dachshund a little sausage? Simply roll up a piece of pink felt and tie it together with bakers twine.
