I love, love advent calendars. We had one growing up that was very similar to this, with a felt tree and tiny ornaments that had sequin details. My grandmother made it, I believe, and by now it’s quite old and quite special. Whether you like to make a different advent calendar every year or whether you’re looking for a family heirloom of your own, and whether you want to give tiny gifts each day, do an activity each day, or simply count down the days until Christmas, there are ideas here for all kinds of DIY advent calendars!
