DIY Advent Calendar That Makes a Statement

I wanted a DIY advent calendar that would make a huge statement, so I made this one using a big canvas. Kids will love this for Christmas!

Gather These Supplies

Large canvas Paper mache boxes Mod Podge Gloss FolkArt Acrylic Paint Christmas themed scrapbook paper Cardstock in coordinating colors Die cutting machine Prima poinsettias Wood or chipboard circles

Instructions

Paint the entire canvas with several coats. Lay your canvas onto a table and spread out your 25 boxes. At this point you need to decide the layout and then take a picture of it so that you can remember where each box goes.

Lay out your papers on top of the boxes, cutting small pieces for the smaller boxes. Arrange the papers so that no two that are alike are right next to each other.

This next step takes some time, so settle in with your favorite Christmas movie. For each piece of paper, lay the corresponding lid down onto the back side and trace with a pencil. Do one lid at a time.

I’m so thrilled to share this DIY advent calendar with you today!
