DIY: Little House Advent Calendar
So, I managed to make our own advent calendar this year. It’s called “Little House Advent Calendar”. I decided to make my own advent calendar because I want it to be unique and customized. Rianna is almost three now and I am not sure if she can appreciate this kind of thing already, but this is for her. When I finished doing this little house advent calendar Rianna starts playing there. She is one lucky girl. All these presents are real, and all for her. There is a rule though, she cannot open those presents until Christmas eve. However, we can count the days until Christmas. It’s quite exciting, isn’t it?
Here’s how I made this advent calendar…
Little House Advent Calendar
You Will Need:
A dollhouse
Christmas garland of any color you prefer
Christmas lights
Real presents wrapped and decorated
A tag and numbers
1. First, grab all the boxes and all the presents.
2. Using a Christmas wrapping paper wrap the presents and add some ribbon on it.
3. Attached the numbers tag into each present. (For the tag, I cut a round-shaped glittery paper. I cut another star-shaped white paper and wrote each number 1-24, then attached each to the glitter paper.)
4. Arrange the presents into the house.
5. Decorate with the garland and Christmas lights.
6. Done!
This project is time-consuming, so make sure to do this earlier if you like. I am so busy so obviously this is quite late. But I am happy that I finished it just in time. Okay, before December 1! I will try to make it earlier next time :).
, To be honest, it’s hard to find 24 presents to wrap as we tried not to buy Rianna too many toys, especially the tiny ones. She is also not allowed to eat candies so I cannot just put any candies and chocolates. What’s inside of these presents are mostly clothes, books, etc. I hope she will like them.

.. I think she likes it, don’t you think?:)
