How to Make a Homemade Advent Calendar

24 days of surprises (and creativity) before Christmas

The Advent calendar is one of the most beloved traditions, for both adults and children. And making it yourself makes it even more special.

🧦 Basic ideas: sachets, boxes, or socks?

Use Kraft bags, mini packages, recycled jars, or mismatched socks: any container can become a “box.”

✂️ What to put inside?

Treats, messages, mini gifts, Christmas challenges, or handmade vouchers (this applies to hot chocolate). There's no shortage of ideas!

🧵 How to assemble it

Hang it on a string with clothespins, pin it all to a board, create a mini village or a numbered garland. Let your imagination run wild!

🎨 Decoration and numbering

Use number stickers, stamps, hand-cut cards, or write with a gold marker. The important thing is that every day is a surprise!
