4. Drawer Advent Calendar

Pick up an easy craft box with drawers for this one and decorate with wrapping paper and stickers. 

5. Christmas Bulb Advent Calendar 

Grab some coloured paper and string for this incredible DIY. Give the templates a go or pick them up online for a few dollars then glue it all together and you have a masterpiece!

6. Toilet Paper Rolls Advent Calendar
