The 12 days of craft :: day 4 {Advent Calendar}



We have seen so many ideas about Advent Calendar on Pinterest, Flickr, and all over the internet. The most important reason I made this advent calendar is for a fun, meaningful and cooperative family activity for the special month of the year. It would be the happiest time if we do together somthing as a family. So, I hanged the calendar over the fire place in the living room which our family usually stay together. That would be easy to reach {the instructions} for each activity of the calendar for us. This advent calendar is easy to make with several simple materials.



supplies:

lace for hanging

paper cardstock (can be any size depending on your choice)



glue

scissors or paper cutter

craft punch









I used a craft punch to make a number that indicates each day.
You can use number stamps , too.
Cut cardstock down to appropriate size.
Print an activity on to the cardstock and cut down to the appropriate size.
Print the numbers and cut out each number with a punch.
Glue the number on to an envelope (I use several craft mini envelopes + transparent self-sealing bags for color variation).
Pin each envelope with a clothespin.
