DIY Advent Calendars

Sharing is caring!

You can buy your advent calendar or spend an evening crafting your heart out on a homemade version. Whatever you do, a Christmas countdown is a must!

When it comes to DIY – first, assess what you already have on hand. No need to spend buckets of money. I promise, your children will be excited to countdown no matter what your project entails. Second, don’t do it alone! Whether you rally your kids to join you in your crafting efforts or plan a mom’s only DIY night – there’s no need to craft solo. Pop in a Christmas movie or turn on some jolly holiday tunes and enjoy the spirit of the season!
