I have amazing and creative DIY advent calendar ideas for you!

Whether you never have before, or you do every year, you’ll love the advent calendar ideas. Each one is unique and so much fun!

I love counting down to Christmas from the first day of December, but it can be just as much fun to do the 12 days of Christmas! Minus the three French hens of course! These are a few of my favorite advent calendar ideas from some very talented crafters.
