print it / 24 Secrets an Ornament Advent Calendar
This is an Advent Calendar made out of Christmas Ornaments that can be opened.
All of these Ornaments are numbered, if you want to print them without numbers, use the Secret Stash File. I had to separate them both because of the file size on the upload.
The mechanism is a new invention by me, inspired by the genius animations of Javad Taba.
