It's Never Too Early! CHRISTMAS CRAFT PROJECT: ADVENT CALENDAR

Christmas Craft Project: Advent Calendar by visualheart


I know what you’re thinking. It’s barely even Fall yet,
why are you doing Christmas crafts?? Well every year
I think of things I wish I had made for Christmas, but
at that point it was far too late, so I thought i’d get a
jump on things and get crafty on rainy days. I’ve
always wanted an advent calendar that I could reuse
every year, so I used an idea I found online and added
a picture frame and fancy numbers to it.

Supplies needed:

• A thrift store frame or discount frame from a home store
• Spray paint in gloss white
• Acrylic paints in colours of your choice (I used red and white)
• Wooden clothes pegs
• Mod podge or white glue
• Printed numbers or your can paint them by hand

52 Things I Love About You by visualheart

I made this for my boyfriend. It’s the most perfect gift for Valentine’s, Birthday, Anniversary, or just because…

I created a template using Adobe Illustrator, measured the size of the card and filled in the type within. Once printed on card stock, I cut out each square by hand. I glued them to the cards using a thin layer of basic mod-podge, but you could also use rubber cement for a faster drying time.

A few people have been asking if I hand wrote the sayings. I’ve decided to provide a link to the font I used, it’s called Mari & David
