Tinker Advent – 31 ideas all simplicity

Advent calendars count down the days until Christmas. They are fun for children, who look forward to small gifts and sweets, and for adults who enjoy making a DIY Advent calendar. Here are 31 creative ideas for Christmas countdowns that you can easily make at home.

DIY Advent calendars – experiment with shapes and colors

Everyone knows this beloved Christmas tradition, but Advent calendars no longer have to look traditional. They keep the same purpose while experimenting with new shapes, colors, and sizes. Instead of using only bags or boxes, try cans, hangers, envelopes, toilet paper rolls, or jam jars. Fill them with sweets, little surprises, or kind words for winter and the Christmas season.

DIY Advent calendars with a modern look

Once you have prepared the boxes or containers for the Advent calendar, choose a good place for it at home. You can hang it on the wall in the shape of a Christmas tree, fill a glass jar, or create a decorative wreath. If you have 24 transparent plastic spheres, they can easily become a Christmas tree Advent calendar. Be creative and look for the potential in everyday objects around the house. Even toilet paper rolls can help.
