A self-made Advent calendar sweetens the long wait until Christmas Eve. With these instructions you can make your own Advent calendar out of paper bags. This one has been painted with cute figures and fir trees. It's very easy to do with our free motif template.

Design your own Advent calendar

Print out the free templates and transfer them to the paper bags using graphite paper.

Paint the figures with craft colours. Tip: for the lighter areas, such as the belly, mix the base colour of the corresponding animal with white to lighten it up.

Once the paint has dried, trace the contours with the Micron Liners. Complete the faces and add details such as light reflections with white Gelly Rolls.

For the fir trees, draw triangles at different heights on the remaining bags and colour in azure blue. When dry, dab with some decorative snow.

Create some advent calendar numbers with craft paint. Once dry, stick the numbers onto the tags and tie a piece of dark blue paper cord to each.

Fill the bags with small gifts and treats. To close the bags, fold them over once at the top and secure them with a wooden clip. Attach the numbers to the clip.
