This year, I'm determined to be more organised, start some family Christmas traditions and generally infuse the season with more magic and Christmas spirit.
Advent Calendars
Here are some of the best homemade advent calendar ideas I found on Pinterest (I just have to decide which one to make and how to adapt it):
1. Christmas cracker advent calendar from The Sweet Life
2. Another cool recycled toilet roll calendar from Mamaskram via Frugal coupon living (the pin I found leads to a roundup post with lots of other ideas, but this one I liked best).
3. Yet another recycled toilet roll calendar - I'd better start saving them! This one is from Parents.com in a post with lots of other winter craft ideas.
Here's the advent calendar we actually made: How to Make a Simple and Cute Owl Advent Calendar

7. Visit this post by Teaching Mama for lots of gorgeous Christmas-themes crafts and activities to make and do with kids.
For more ideas take a look at my Handmade Christmas Pinterest board:
Stay posted to see which of these crafts I actually do! I´m also tempted to update this post with more pins - seven is not many when there are so many more amazing ideas out there.

These are lovely ideas! I made a garland one year using dried oranges, cinnamon sticks, and gingerbread - it smelt amazing. Maybe I'll attempt it again this year! #DreamTeam
ReplyDeleteChristmas is the one time of year that I can't get enough craft. My house tends to look like a glitter bomb has gone off throughout most of the months ending with "ember". I love the first of the toilet roll advent calendars. Such a fab idea! Thanks for linking with #DreamTeam x
ReplyDeleteThose toilet paper advent calendars are just pure genius! I love those orange slice decorations too, and think I will try them this year :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great collection of ideas, I love the wishing tree and the colourful toilet roll advent calendar :) #bloggerpinparty
