Handmade Advent calendar.

November 15, 2012


Hello! :) Here’s the Advent calendar I prepared for Flo as a big surprise (and he loves it!! :)).
I decided to use a mixture of packages, envelopes and little bags so that I was able to find the perfect packaging for each little present. :) What is more, I didn’t just want to hang all the presents on the wall, I rather wanted to display all packages on several levels, that’s why I hung up a cord, added the branch with the Christmas tree decor elements and put all the other presents onto his chest of drawers.
I made the number tags with a puncher (inspired by Anja’s idea :)) and wrapped every single present. The paper bags are made prettier with handmade stamps and the fabric bags are handmade. :)
How do you like this Advent calendar display?
It’s perfect for Flo’s room, because its main colors are white, red and green and I wanted the calendar to match his room’s color concept. :)
Can’t wait to see him open the first one soon! :)
Lu

    Hallo Lu,
    ich find den Adventskalender super! Was mir besonders gefällt, sind die unterschiedlichen Päckchen – wenn man alle gleich macht, sieht das zwar auch toll aus, aber man is irgendwie ein bisschen eingeschränkt, was man schenkt. So wie hier bei dir, kann man wirklich jedes Päckchen perfekt auf den Inhalt abstimmen!
    Lg, Miriam

    Da war ich nicht die einzige, die die Idee mit den verschiedenen Verpackungen genial fand :)
    Bin immernoch auf der Suche, nach einer schönen und kreativen Art, den Adventskalender für meine Mama einzupacken. Deine Kombi ist sehr inspirierend ;)
    LG Tina

    Gefällt mir auch außerordentlich gut. Ich werde dieses Jahr einen für meine Abteilung basteln, da ich ja nun leider keine WG mehr habe, innerhalb der man wichteln kann. Aber ich überlege hin und her was ich so in die Päckchen packen soll…

    Foxy Greetings!

    Der ist so schön geworden! Ich bastle auch seit dem Wochenende und hoffe, dass er spätestens dieses Wochenende endlich fertig wird :)
    Selbstgebastelte sind am tollsten!

    I'm looking for ideas on what to put inside the calendar – boyfriend themed.
    Can you post about that?! ;)
