Wooden chest of drawers for Advent calendar?

[Boo]

Hi, does anyone do or could tell me where to find a small untreated/undecorated wooden chest of drawers I could alter into an Advent calendar, one drawer for each day (25)?
Small as in there would be enough room in each drawer for a small gift or a chocolate/sweet?

Many thanks

No, but you could make one out of matchboxes or something similar, and put tiny round beads on for bun feet! Might be fun.

I've seen cardboard ones in my local craft shop but haven't seen wooden ones there. Have you tried Hobbycraft? I know they do wooden boxes etc so they might have some.

Not with that many drawers... I'd go with the matchbox idea!

it is an advent one and it is matchboxes !!

Many thanks for your replies, but I've already done the matchbox versions...

I've definitely seen (online) a small (but larger than the matchbox versions) wooden chest of drawers that someone had altered into an Advent calendar, but it was a while ago and I can't remember where

swirlyarts, I'll try Hobbycraft, thanks!

I've tried Googling, but zilch...

Thanks anyway guys

Sorry, BeckyBoo - I meant that I hadn't seen a wooden one with that many drawers, and recommended trying your matchbox idea... not that your pic wasn't matchboxes!

Boo - I'm sure you're right, and that such a thing exists. But I confess that I've not seen one...

There was one in Crafts Beautiful this month, I think it was an advert- will dig it and if I can

The following are basically what I'm looking for, but undecorated as I want to paint and embellish them myself...

This one is chipboard but gives you more of an idea of what I want to do with a blank one...

The website is www.craftmill.co.uk, but I can't find the boxes on there

I can send you pic of it if you let me have your email

Just wanted to stop you having a waisted trip to hobbycraft and let you know they dont have anything with that many drawers. (I work there)
Ive been looking for something similar too. Will keep you posted if I find anything.

Sian, I'm not sure about the one on the wall, although it's certainly different
