And suddenly everybody’s favorite season is just some days away, and all are getting ready for Christmas! And all celebrations start with the traditional Advent Calendar!
If you are not familiar with an Advent Calendar, it is like a countdown that starts on December 1st and ends on Christmas Eve. It's a beautiful and fun way not to enjoy only Christmas Day but each and every day throughout December!
An Advent Calendar is surely one of the most inspiring gifts you can create for your beloved ones. You will enjoy the whole procedure even more than offering the actual gift! Extra bonus is the fact that besides making it, you will have to find 24 things and/or activities that mean something special to your beloved and will certainly make them smile!
Thumbs up for Advent Calendars! I simply ADORE them! Every year, besides my children, I also choose a different friend to offer this special gift!
So here are some of the ideas I’ve gathered for you. They are more than easy and quick! 😊
Create pillow boxes, with kraft or Christmas paper, fill them with goodies and decorate! You can stick them in a frame using a tape, hang them or just put them in a basket!
Wrap white matchboxes with paper from the Christmas collections, add gold or silver glitter washi tape, and decorate them if you want! Make small labels for the numbers easily and quickly with a punch 😊
Create hats, yes those made with the WRMK DIY party board, with Christmas papers, and you will have a forest full of advent trees! Close the bottom with paper tape 😉😊
With the same tool, WRMK DIY party board, if you are a fan of minimal style, just make cones and hang them!
Make a large album base using chipboard. Then create boxes using the WRMK Gift Box Punch Board and stick them in the inner part of the base. Choose papers and decorations from the new Christmas collections.
The next idea involves boxes again, but this time in the form of candies using the WRMK Candy Box Punch Board. You can place them in a basket or hang them one by one ... To create this adorable crescent shape, choose one of the EKSucess punches, our favorite is definitely the one with the tree 💖
And last but not least an Advent Calendar with boxes again! Honestly, I prefer advents with boxes, as you can put bigger gifts 😋! But this time, stick them on white paper and decorate them with colored pompoms!
If you prefer your gifts to involve activities, then a nice idea is to make envelopes for each day ... With different papers or solid and many embellishments, the choice is yours 😋. You will find everything you need in the Christmas category!
Here are some tips 😀
The WRMK 123 Punch Board tool will be your ultimate … friend if you want to make boxes and envelopes! It can do both as well as bows too! 😉. Choose the numbers for your advent among a variety of stamps, dies, stickers, die-cuts, or Tim Holtz’s metal adornments!
You can also paint them yourself with a marker! Finally, for those who want an already prepared Advent Calendar, choose the Wooden Chest with small Drawers by Darice. You can paint it or decorate it and have it every year from now on!
Now it’s your turn! Use your imagination and create the most inspiring Advent! Of course, if you haven’t already tried it!
See you next week!
Artistic kisses!
