I love a good advent calendar - It's a great excuse to eat a piece of chocolate every day! I was searching the web to try to find a really unique DIY version as I thought an advent calendar big enough to incorporate little toys and trinkets would be a nice change to the chocolate-only advent calendars that you can purchase nowadays. After quite a bit of searching I stumbled upon this AMAZING printable DIY advent calendar from
Minieco.co.uk. You can view some more photos and get the printable files and instructions by
clicking here. Looks a bit time consuming but I think having all those wonderfully coloured little triangles to open each day would make it well worth the effort! You could include chocolate money, stickers, little jokes, hard candy, rings, fun erasers, plastic army figures, temporary tattoos or anything you can think of that will fit in these lovely, little triangle packages. Happy crafting!
this a really nice idea. thanks a lot for sharing the pictures.
