Create Your Own DIY Advent Calendar

Is there anything better than receiving a homemade advent calendar that sweetens every day until Christmas? Advent calendars are loved by people of all ages, and when handmade, they are a beautiful expression of love. If you're thinking, "Sounds great, but how do I make one?"—don’t worry! Follow this easy guide, and your loved ones will be thrilled!

What You'll Need:

• Festive wrapping paper with beautiful patterns
• Scissors
• Pencil, eraser, and ruler
• Pretty ribbon
• A hole punch
• A branch or similar item for hanging, plus decorations
• 24 small gifts

Ready? Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Using your pencil and ruler, draw squares on the wrapping paper. Make sure all sides are equal!

2. Mark the center of each outer square and draw triangles from these points. Then sketch curved lines around the triangles, as shown in the example.

3. Carefully cut along the curved lines.

4. Fold along the edges of the inner square using the ruler to create clean folds.

5. Fold the triangles inward along the edges so the curved parts fold inside.

6. Use the hole punch to carefully make holes at the tips of the triangles—be careful not to punch too close to the edge.

7. Now for the fun part: filling and sealing! Place your small gift—like chocolate, mini skincare products, or a handwritten personal note—inside. Use the ribbon to thread through the holes, pull tight, and tie it into a bow. Voilà! 🎁

8. Repeat this process 24 times. Hang the packages on the branch or arrange them however you like. Gift it to your loved ones and enjoy the joyful smiles it brings! ❤️
