DIY Advent 2024 Postmortem

I’ve wanted to create this wonderful advent calendar since 2015. This is the third year I’ve actually made some advent calendars.

This is the first year it looks somewhat like how I originally envisioned it.

I started working on it in July, but I was sick for most of August, September, October, and the beginning of November. As a result, I completed most of the work in November.

The best part is that I mostly stuck to my no-spend artist challenge! I used up a few spools of baker’s twine, a roll of tape, and got to play with all the beautiful materials that I already had on hand.

(Confession: I did buy the felt numbers and tissue paper to finish the hats—smh.)

More details to come, I think... I hope. Right now, I’m trapped in a toddler typhoon, but my new years resolution is to post on Fridays!

Advent Calender Idea’s

Gift Advent Calendar for Children:

This is the advent calendar that my mum puts so much into every year for all of us and I wanted to include any ideas for other mums to do for little kids! I will also include an adult one - as I make one each year for my mum too. That will be posted next.

You can purchase these advent calendar's online. I managed to find one for my Mum on eBay.co.uk and it was a reasonable and affordable price.

I chose this one

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Chic-Shabby-Large-Felt-Fabric-Christmas-Tree-Advent-Calendar-Xmas-With-Pockets-/271978420556?hash=item3f532d594c

I was extremely impressed with it and it worked amazingly well. The majority of the gifts that I purchased to go into the calendar fitted into the pockets and the design was just adorable! It was christmassy and also unique too. I definitely recommend this calendar.

Here are some links to some other calendar's:

DIY Holiday Message in an Ornament via Squirrelly Minds

This is just one of many ornaments that create a gorgeous advent calendar. Each ornament has a little note inside with an event or something to do. It's so pretty, I'd have a hard time taking each ornament down.
