This is what I used:

One garland of 24 wooden clothespins
Wired ribbon 7" for each "envelope" (24/25 pieces)
Fine betoken marker

Fold each slice of ribbon to shape a petty envelope, similar inwards the motion painting above. I didn't run upwardly or mucilage them. Each petty envelope is going to agree 2 petty pieces of newspaper so, only similar that they'll agree them pretty well.

Using a fine betoken Sharpie, the numbers were written on each envelope.

I've used it to agree Christmas cards most of the time, but only this yr I realized it's supposed to last used every bit an advent calendar afterward I counted how many clothespins it had! ;)
