Friends Advent Calendar - Day 18
Posted by MeganL,
We are getting a lot of spares in this calendar, that come with a lot of great builds. I think yesterday's build of the soldier and the ballerina may be my favourite so far. I'm expecting the festive builds to continue, so let's see what waits for us today.
Now this is a hearth! Quite a sizable one, and I like how there are four studs (presumably, for four stockings). However I couldn't get more than two to fit comfortably - not to mention there are five Friends, so that could get awkward.
Regardless this is a lovely hearth, and I love flame piece usage as well as the festive greenery. Chalk another day up for a great holiday build.

Could you fit the other stockings on the side, not necessarily over the actual mantle?
While I have been enjoying the Star Wars, Harry Potter and Marvel Advent Calendars, I think Friends has the edge this year. The quality seems to have been more consistent here.
Friends are strong <3
Andrea's stocking is built in the opposite direction to everybody else's, so you should be able to fit all of the stockings on if you attach hers to the fourth stud, and then put stockings on the first and third studs as well as the two side studs.
I'm really enjoying this calendar, far more than the others of the year. It feels much more coherent than most, and I like that they've tried something different by going with the minidoll approach this year.

That would work, just don't expect much heat to come out of the fireplace afterwards;
unless the stockings themselves catch fire of course ;-)
Not_a_Bot: I wouldn't be surprised if the reason Andrea's is built opposite the others was to facilitate what you describe.
Put another Yule log on the fire.
Nice hearth using Friends colors. It's cute!
If you hang all those stockings in the way, you won’t be able to throw the tin soldier and ballerina in the fire! Unless he is just a nutcracker, in which case you wouldn’t. At that scale, it’s so hard to tell if he has one leg or just mono-leg.
This friends build is perfect for a fireplace! This year’s calendar is really well designed and wonderful
