This is how you design the noble Advent calendar:
Paint the sleigh, the fans, the hooves and the wooden numbers with VBS craft colours. Cut the polystyrene ball in half and paint it with golden craft paint.
Add gold leaf to the edges of the drawers. To do this, apply a little dressing milk, allow to dry, place the gold leaf on top and remove any excess gold with a soft brush. To finish with gold leaf, also watch our informative video in which we show you step-by-step how it is done. Once dry, glue the numbers to the drawers with VBS craft glue.
Tie/wrap two metal rings together with the fairy lights. In our example, we used the 15 mm and 20 mm diameter rings.
Cut a slit in the half polystyrene ball from below. Clamp the metal rings into it and stick them to the Advent calendar with hot glue. Lay the cable over the body, all the way to the back and glue it on with hot glue. Place the battery compartment under the slide so that the batteries can be easily replaced and the compartment is not visible. Paint over the cable with craft paint. When it is dry, use the gold craft paint to spray small speckles on the cable.
Paint the star sprinkles in gold and glue them to the rings with hot glue after they have dried.
Now the Advent calendar can be filled with various treats and small gifts.
