Design an advent calendar with houses

Do you want to add a creative and personal touch to your advent calendar this year? With our detailed instructions, you can easily make unique advent calendar houses that not only look pretty, but also spread a lot of anticipation for Christmas. Let your creativity run wild and design an advent calendar that will give your home a festive atmosphere.

Painting the advent calendar houses and numbers

First, paint the advent calendar houses and advent numbers as you wish with craft paint. Craft paint is specially developed for creative projects and is of high quality. It is available in many different colours. You can let your imagination run wild and choose colours that perfectly match your Christmas decorations.

Decorating with scatter decorations

While the paint dries, you can paint the scatter decorations such as small stars or snowflakes. Scatter decorations are small decorative elements that add extra charm to your advent calendar houses.

Gluing the advent numbers and decorative elements

Once the paint is completely dry, attach the advent numbers and the painted scatter decorations to the respective little houses using handicraft glue. Make sure that you attach the numbers in such a way that the little houses can still be opened. This way, you can place small surprises for Advent in them in the next step.

Hanging the advent calendar

Would you like to loop your advent calendar? Then screw small picture eyelets to the back. These eyelets allow you to hang the advent calendar including the little house on a wall or another decorative element using a ribbon. A ribbon in Christmas colours adds a festive touch and ensures that your calendar is perfectly staged.
