DIY: Freebie Christmas Advent Calendar on MarlaMeridith.com

 

It’s the time of year to get crafty for Christmas, I’m excited to share this DIY Advent Calendar with you. You only need a few things to get started and then you are out of the gates & running. You should be able to assemble this in just less than an hour. 

All you need are little treat bags ~ clear or any cute ones you can find. Some candy, verses or anything you would like to fill the treat bags with. A color printer. Skinny satin ribbon. A hole punch. Hang your advent calendar from anywhere you want or line the bags up in a basket.

Click  page 1 & page 2 for the downloadable PDF files.

Have fun! What treats do you put in your advent calendars? Be sure to tag me on Insta if you make this, I’m so excited to see! @marlameridith

    Just what I was looking for. I am a preschool teacher of 2 year olds. I am making a Christmas tree advent calendar out of toilet paper rolls and putting Smarties candy inside. These will perfect on the end of each one for our countdown. Thank you so much!
