8 Christmas Calendar Tutorials {Advent}

Today it’s all about the Christmas Calendar or the Advent. Here are 8 Christmas calendar tutorials you can make to count down to Christmas!

Christmas Calendar

Kathryn gives step-by-step directions on how to make this Clipboard Advent. Make it for yourself or as a gift.

Julie Ree made such a unique and beautiful advent using pyramid boxes and putting candy inside. You can download the free template here.

Here’s a modern version using a magnet board and and small metal tins.

Teresa gives you step by step instructions on how to make this Cookie Sheet Advent.

We featured Shirley back in September for her Cookie Sheet Advent Calendar You can print out the instructions from Executive Homemaker.com.

Jenny posted the template for her calendar pocket advent. Simply beautiful!

Jen made this cute advent calendar out of matchboxes. How creative!

Magpie & Cake made this hysterical 3D Joke Tree. The basic idea is that instead of chocolate or a picture, you get a new Christmas or holiday joke every day. You could also adapt this idea to include holiday or winter trivia instead.

    Thanks for the mention, Laurie! I’m glad you liked my joke tree. It’s actually a lot of fun to make cause you have to find (or make up) all these cheesy winter/holiday jokes.

    Your post also reminded me that it’s already time to get started on an advent calendar for this year! Yikes!

    Couldn’t view the clipboard advent. I’d really like to check it out, but it said you had to log in with a user and password. Can the tutorial viewed elsewhere?
