Steps for the project

---

1. Make 24 simple small folders with gift wrapping paper. Of course, you can just buy them instead of making them.
2. Decorate them with Christmas confetti stars.
3. Write the numbers with a marker.
4. Fill them with small wrapped chocolate bars, or with whatever you think is better, like candies and small toys.
5. Hung the folders on the wire of the old frame. We have used stapler pins because with twine they seemed too messy. You can also use clothespins.

PS. The numbers 11 and 22 were written by my son!
