I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now that we have officially started the holiday season, today’s Friday field trip is a visit to my holiday workshop to create a super quick and easy Advent calendar!
This year’s Advent calendar was inspired by one for sale at Terrain.
The Advent calendar from Terrain that inspired my DIY – styled by me on my holiday table in a glass container with ‘snow.’
Basically, all that is needed for this DIY is a single candle… isn’t a candle the perfect vehicle for an advent calendar? Who doesn’t use a candle during the holiday season?
My favorite candle as a DIY Advent calendar!
Utilize a favorite candle you already own (or treat yourself to a new one) and affix (I used rubber cement) an appropriate sized piece of paper printed with a December calendar…so simple and so cute!
I simply typed the word ‘December’ and the numbers 1 to 25 using a simple typestyle and printed it out on regular computer paper. I made mine 3” x 3” to fit nicely on a favorite woodland scented candle. Use a favorite typestyle and vary the finished size of the calendar to best fit the candle you choose to use.
If you want to make one up to give as a gift; tie a red, green, or metalllic marker with a piece of twine to the finished candle!
Thanks for stopping by!
