Board-type Advent calendar

[Winter Prep 🤍] A new board style! How to make an advent calendar board that’s perfect as interior decor 🎄📜🌛

An advent calendar that’s fun to open until Christmas.

There are many types, but here we’ll introduce a board-style advent calendar that won’t damage your walls and takes up less space than box types.

First, glue together two plywood boards—easily found at 100-yen shops—using wood glue.

Clip them and let them dry, and in the meantime, wrap the presents with wrapping paper.

Choose any wrapping you like.

Once the wrapping is done, add the dates.

You can write numbers on tags with a pen, or simply use stickers made for advent calendars—both are great options.

Finally, cut some adhesive sheets.

Stick them onto both the board and the presents, and you’re done!

An advent calendar full of tricks

Let's make it: A handmade Advent calendar

A cute house shape! Here’s how to make an advent calendar.

First, use colored construction paper to make 16 large windows and 32 small windows.

Fold them in half and layer two sheets of different colors.

Trim the inner sheet slightly smaller around the edges.

Be careful not to cut the folded side.

Next, take a strip of colored paper about 7 cm wide, fold it in half, cut out four tree shapes, and glue them together so they form a 3D shape.

Stack six small origami sheets, draw a half circle, and make ball ornaments the same way.

Stick them in the center of the windows.

You can also create a pop-up effect by making the window fold lines valley fold, mountain fold, and valley fold, then cutting and unfolding.

Finally, glue the windows onto a big house cut from construction paper, and you’re done!

Just wrap and put it in a box! Easy Advent calendar

Space-Saving Handmade Advent Calendar 🎄 | DIY with 100-Yen Store Items | Surprise Birthday Present | Just Pop It in a Simple Box | Process Video | Handmade

It’s the season for advent calendars! Here’s how to make an advent calendar using items from a 100-yen shop.

Prepare as many gift bags or gift boxes as there are dates.

For the contents, dagashi (Japanese penny candies) are recommended—they’re small and come in many varieties, making it even more fun to open each one.

You can put items straight into the gift bags, but folding the sides inward (a squash fold) to make them triangular is also a nice touch.

After sealing them, secure with a stapler and add some washi tape.

Write the dates on each one or slip a message card inside, and you’re done!

Origami Christmas Advent Calendar

Advent Calendar ★ Christmas Origami [Origami Christmas] Advent Calendar

Here’s how to make an advent calendar out of origami.

Fold the origami paper using the standard square base.

With the open side facing you, fold the left and right corners to the center line to make crease lines, then perform inside reverse folds along those creases on both sides.

Fold the newly formed edges to the center line, and squash-fold the closed tip.

Once you’ve done this for all four sections, fold up the corners and crease them inward.

Open it so the bottom forms a box shape, then tuck two opposite flaps inward.

For the remaining two flaps, fold the corners down inward twice to create a roof-like shape.

Add date decorations, and you’re done!

Here’s how to make an advent calendar using coffee filters.

You’ll need coffee filters, stamps, stamp ink, masking tape, a stapler, twine, a pen, and candy.

Easy! How to Make an Advent Calendar

http://www.lemon8-app.com

When you want to make an advent calendar, it often overlaps with the busy season leading up to the end of the year.

So here are some ideas for an advent calendar you can make easily.

Prepare small bags, stick date labels on them, and put the contents inside.

Close the opening, punch a hole, thread a string through, and you’re done! The key is to close the bag so it forms a three-dimensional triangle.

If the design feels a bit plain, try decorating with Christmas stickers.

You can display them however you like, but hanging them with string makes them perfect as Christmas ornaments, too.
