Advent Calendar Round-Up
Thanksgiving has passed, and it’s now socially acceptable to begin the count down to Christmas. But let’s be honest, you’ve secretly been waiting for at least a month. One of the best ways to celebrate the most festive month of the year is with an Advent calendar. Instead of buying a generic version at the grocery store, craft your own calendar,and put it on display. I’ve pulled together a list of 15 of my favorite DIY Advent Calendars to inspire you.
How fun is this bright, modern calendar?

I love how just pulling together odds and ends from the house could turn into such a cheerful calendar!

I’m a sucker for pallet art, which is probably why I’m drawn to this minimalist wood calendar with big impact.

I love the simplicity of this woodland calendar. Even better, it’s made from a basic shoe organizer that can be used for storage the rest of the year!

How fun is this balloon ornament idea? My kids would fight over whose turn it was to pop the next ornament!

Since I’m a big fan of chalkboard decor, it probably doesn’t surprise you that I am also a big fan of this countdown calendar.

It doesn’t get any more simple than this. I adore the idea of using mini socks and clothespins…

Do you count down to Christmas with an Advent Calendar? I’d love to hear about yours in the comments below!
I love all of these ideas. I think my favorite is the balloon tree one its different. Thank you for sharing these.
These advent calendars are adorable. How on earth did you choose which to make? Pinning this for later. I had better decide quickly since there is only one day left until December! Thank you so much for your clever collection.
These are great! I SWORE I was going to do one by December 1 – think I can pull it together in 3 days?!
We don’t do an advent calendar in my house…but boy, this sure did tempt me! These are fabulous!
That treasure tree is so cool!! We always had the little chocolate candy ones growing up which I looked forward to and LOVED, but I have a different one, with little fabric bags and stockings. I can’t decide what I want to put in it this year though, last year I did candy, but I kind of want to do something different this year…
