Cut out 3” tags from cream colored cardstock and punch a hole at the top of each tag. Using a permanent marker, write a few numbers onto the tags. We want to create a few numbers that are stamped and a few that are written to create interest on your advent calendar sign.
Find the numbers from the Alphabet & Number Sponges. Place a small amount of red acrylic paint onto a disposable paper plate and pounce the sponges in the paint. Once the sponge is covered, stamp the numbers onto the cardstock tags, making sure to create the remaining numbers. Allow time for the paint to dry.
This is the super fun part, embellish each tag. It an be as simple as a single Green Frosted Sisal Tree, or as elaborate as a Wool Felt Pom-pom and Burlap holly bundle. To learn how to make a burlap holly leaf of your own, check out this tutorial here.
You can also embellish the tags with a red glittered DIY Unfinished Wood Reindeer Cutouts, Jumbo Goldtone Jingle Bells, Mini Pinecones strung with Red Bakers Twine and embellished with a satin ribbon bow, Bottle Charms with a Cork Stopper filled with faux snow, Jute Twine Tassels adorned with a Vintage Christmas Word Charm, Mini Felt Christmas Stockings, a gold glittered DIY Unfinished Wood Star, Wood Alphabet Letter Tiles, Mini Felt Santa Hat or a Large Christmas Sisal Wreath. The sky is the limit with these embellishments. But don’t feel like they have to be complicated, a little goes a long way with this advent calendar.
Hot glue a wood button onto a Mini Clothespin and glue the clothespins to the DIY Stained Wood Plank Sign. Clip the embellished cardstock tags to the clothespins.
Hang your DIY Advent Calendar in your home and take down a tag each day to count down to Christmas. Such a stunning addition to your Christmas gallery wall!
