A beaded tree is complete! An advent calendar that looks like candy

The contents of Advent calendars are often candy or toys, but this one uses beads—once you collect them all, you can make a tree.
Each bead is individually wrapped like candy, which is adorable, and it looks fun to watch the tree gradually take shape.
Set the pipe cleaner base on the first day, and let the kids thread the beads onto it as if they were stringing them.
Please create it with the letter “A” in mind.
100-yen store DIY! Advent calendar made with cups and a wooden box
Here’s an idea for an advent calendar made by filling a tall cup with a Christmas design with presents.
Prepare your favorite sweets and small items, pick a few, wrap them in origami paper, and place them in the cup so the contents can’t be seen.
Stick date-numbered labels on the sides of the cups, set them in a wooden box, and you’re done.
You can buy a wooden box or make one yourself by assembling pieces of wood.
If your child can read numbers, try arranging the cups in the wooden box at random on purpose.
If you say, “Where’s today’s cup?” it’ll feel like a treasure hunt and they’ll have fun with it.
House-shaped Advent calendar
How about making house-shaped Christmas ornaments out of kraft paper? They’re simple and stylish, and if you put candy inside, they become an advent calendar.
First, prepare a house-shaped template and cut the kraft paper.
Next, use a white pen to draw roof patterns, windows, and a door.
Fold it up, apply glue to the tabs, and assemble.
Then punch a hole in the roof and thread a string in your favorite color through it.
Put in your child’s favorite treats, attach another string, and hang it on the Christmas tree.
The window and roof patterns will look cute in a variety of colors, too!
Also works as ornaments! How to make an advent calendar
Let me share an idea for an Advent calendar made with coffee filters that can also double as Christmas ornaments.
First, write the date in the center of a coffee filter and punch a hole at the top.
Put candies or small toys inside, then fold the left and right edges inward and staple them closed.
Make as many as you need in the same way, then thread a string through the holes to hang them up.
Since coffee filters are simple, I recommend adding Christmas stickers or decorating them like ornaments.
Origami Boots Advent Calendar
A Christmas stocking advent calendar is a festive idea that also works as a wall decoration.
Make the stockings with origami and tuck individually wrapped candies into the pocket-like part.
Write the dates with a pen, add holly made from another small piece of origami, and it’s done! The stockings only take a few folds, so even kids can give it a try.
The holly here is made with small origami paper and red round stickers, but you can also draw it or use other stickers.
Making the stockings in several colors will make the display even more vibrant.
Swaying Snowman Wreath
Let me introduce a cute Christmas wreath with a gently swaying snowman.
First, cut out the center of a paper plate to make the wreath base.
You’ll use the cut-out circle to make the snowman, so try to cut it out neatly.
Decorate the remaining ring-shaped paper plate with paint or colored paper, and attach a string to the top for hanging.
Give the snowman a scarf using masking tape, glue on a bucket hat made from colored paper, and draw the face with a pen.
Finally, hang the snowman in the center of the paper plate with fishing line, and it’s complete!
Glove Santa Claus
Christmas is a harshly cold season, and many people can’t go without gloves.
This craft uses a glove to create something that looks warm as well.
We’ll use a red glove, turning the fingers into arms and legs to make Santa Claus.
Attach facial parts to the palm area, hat parts around the wrist, and decorate with cotton, beads, and other materials.
Let’s also think carefully about how to decorate it to make it look even cuter.
