Advent Calendar 2015 – Countdown to Christmas!

Hey y’all!! I’m definitely a little late with this post. The weather here has been rainy and gross all week, so pictures were hard to get. These aren’t top notch but they’ll do! I just wanted to share our 2015 Advent Calendar with you. I’m not going to do a tutorial unless someone just has to have it. So let me know!

Advent Calendar for 2015

I made this little tree from various size dowels then I made the mountains and trees with balsa and a little paint, so fun, I loved how they turned out! I bought little houses from Michael’s for $1 each and painted those as well. I left a couple raw because I just can’t resist that blonde wood!

I also used a little felt from the craft store, stuffed with paper towels, to make some puffy clouds. And last but not least, I used a round die punch to cut circles from paint chips to use as the calendar numbers.

Every year we have a different calendar but I think this one will stay around for a few years. It’s festive but still minimal and the colors I love. I plan out a little activity ot family time for every day of the month. For this calendar I just taped the activity to the back. My kiddos love checking it every day!

Do you have an Advent Calendar? Do you buy it or make your own?
