24 Creative DIY Advent Calendars

The holidays are quickly approaching, and I’m thinking of making my first advent calendar this year for my fiance! Or, I might not be able to keep the idea a secret and perhaps if he wants to join in the effort, we can make it for both of us (I’ll do all the odd numbers for him, he can do even numbers for me) 🙂 …. I did a little searching for some creative ideas and was blown away at the variety of styles. so I thought I’d compile a quick little list of my twenty-four favorites!

  • Heather E - Nice collection of Advent Calendars. I just wanted to point out that item #22 is NOT DIY. I bought one myself from Target. It is cute, and I have enjoyed it, but I think it was misleading of the original blogger to post a craft DIY and then use a Target picture.November 15, 2012 – 8:33 pmReplyCancel

  • Natasa - Thanks for featuring my blog!
    Heather E, I have taken that photo from another blog and have linked back to it. The inspiration for the DIY craft instructions has come from the photo and I never have claimed that the photo is the actual diy project and not a store bought item. It is just there for inspiration and illustration. 🙂October 31, 2013 – 11:28 amReplyCancel
