DIY advent calendar

Kick start your Christmas festivities this year by making this fun DIY advent calendar.

Christmas isn’t Christmas without an advent calendar and this one is the perfect festive addition to your home. 

Gather your supplies:

Here’s how:

Step 1 Use the We R Memory Keepers Box Punch boards to create the pillow boxes, candy boxes and gift boxes to hold a special treat for each day. Each kit comes with instructions and is easy to use; just punch, score, fold and stick! 

Step 2 Once each box has been made assemble using double-sided tape and decorate with number stickers, wooden flourishes, ribbon and any other festive decorations that take your fancy. 

Step 3 To arrange your boxes, lay them out on a flat surface at varying heights and levels, then use string and tape to hang them from your dowel rod.

Step 4 Hang on the wall and enjoy opening each box with your loved ones every day throughout December!
